Gemini Solarity

Sometimes, there is a softness to sunlight. A pale glow on verdant cherry leaves. A warmth instead of a sear. A swath of cotton instead of a scouring pad.

Sometimes, there is a harshness to sunlight. A blinding radiance on worn white siding. A scortch instead of warmth. A drowning in hot coals instead of a fall into cottonballs.

Who can tell when which of these times will come?

mid-August

with a supermoon

arriving

how much longer until

the first whisps of Autumn?
