From your vantage,
the solstice disappeared
in one blink of your eyes
But for me it lasted for an eternity,
waiting to see
a few shades of my yearnings
in the reflection of your eyes

Confab With Me 
This is so beautiful
A good poem that opened my eyes about one person I knew who still is inside of me in that spot.
I love the title. There is something mysterious about Solstices, and this is a very different interpretation
Peaceful
