One Poem by Ed Ahern

 

Midsummer Moment

There’s an unmeasured apogee in summer,

when a day holds without time or purpose,

when the sun’s insistence is given its due,

when the curved apex of living hovers

listless and redolent of the sensuous,

and for that poised, weightless moment

the absence of context exudes meaning.

Ed Ahern resumed writing after forty odd years in foreign intelligence and international sales. He’s had over 550 stories and poems published so far, and twelve books. Ed works the other side of writing at Bewildering Stories where he squats on the review board, and at Scribes Micro where he is the idle figurehead.
