ONCE UPON A SUMMER SOLSTICE

Horizons: home for talented migrant workers in Hong Kong

It’s the time of infinite fun,

long hours of day under the sun.

From the sand, kids swirl and run,

summer solstice has begun.

 

For a moment, live thy life easy.

Forget reality, now’s a time to be free.

Escape to wherever places you wanted to be,

summer solstice is a moment of therapy.

 

Travel to the sea,

sing to the sweetest melody.

With the sand embracing the body,

under a summer solstice scenery.

 

It will certainly be a long day

from the bare, humid, hot sunray.

The kiss of summer in thy skin will stay,

solstice is a memory that will last anyway

 

In time, sun will set in the horizon of the sea,

the sky will burst in colors of fantasy.

Thy mind and soul will be pleased and cheery,

even if summer solstice will bid farewell, eventually.

 

The world is already a mess,

remind thy self to take a rest.

Live life to the fullest,

summer solstice is a time to reset.

 

Once upon a time in summer,

days will be warmer.

But you have memories to remember,

when the solstice is finally over.
