Summer sun

Summer has definitely arrived in Dhaka and the long hot months stretch ahead with mangoes and jackfruit and other delights. For all that a little less heat would not be a bad thing.

Summer sun

 .

Your warmth grows,

faces raised, we perspire in admiration.

Fearfully, humbly, we whisper,

‘Oh great bringer of life

spread your love a little wider!’

We would gladly, unbegrudgingly,

share some of your enthusiasm

with cold, dark places.

  1. Embracing poem! You must have thought about your beloved family in Denmark and friends like Birgit when writing it! A good poem to share with the Northen Hemisphere in particular.
