Serpent to Sun

Serpent to Sun

Ashes to ashes
Sun to earth
Earth to sky
Serpent to sun

Sun dips low
But only a bob
A nod
A gentle genuflect
And up and on
Sailing
Searing
Soaring

Ashes to ashes
Sea to sky
Sky to grass
Sun stands still

Animals worship
Antelope run
Sun is soaring
North to north
Thunder and lightning
Rain on earth

Ashes to ashes
Wind to fire
Sun to sea
Grass to sun

Clouds abate
Winds are low
Dusty halo
Horses grazing
Touch the earth
Kiss the grass
Seek the water

Ashes to ashes
Sun to earth
Earth to sky
Serpent to sun

Like your solstice poem! Captures the cyclical nature of life on earth, matter rolling in and out of forms including horses, sea, sky, ashes...

At least now you know I was telling the truth about why I was late!

I think I'm beginning to adapt Anglo Saxon alliteration to my own style.
