Post No. 266: For The Summer Solstice — The Call Of The God Apollo

The Call Of The God Apollo
(Or, "The Call Of An Everyday Hero")

The God Apollo Is "An Everyday Hero,"
Because—Every Day—The God Apollo Lets
His Soul Shine, So That There Can Be Life!

And So, The Call Of The God Apollo Is
"The Call Of An Everyday Hero"—To Let
Your Soul Shine, So That There Can Be Life!

My Writing Notes:

The reason that I wrote this poem can be summed up with the following statement: I wrote this poem because I realized that I had already written poems for both The Goddess Gaia (The Earth) and The Goddess Luna (The Moon)—which are the two closest Heavenly Bodies in Our Solar System—but I had not yet written a poem for The God Apollo (The Sun).

And in the year 2015, when this post was originally published on my "Small All White in the Forest" blog, the Summer Solstice and Father's Day occurred on the same day, which I truly feel is symbolic since all males—and especially fathers—are like the sun in the sky!

And this poem was also published on my "Small All White in the Forest" blog (please see the hyperlink below for the blog), since I feel that the message in this poem applies to the message that I am trying to convey through "Small All White in the Forest."

This poem was written in Portland, Oregon.
