sun – Ancient Skies

When the Sunshine Awakens

20190507_122103

I love when the sunshine awakens on my pillow,

nuzzling closer

whispering her dreams,

I hold on to each

sacred moment,

quietly thankful,

for my most sacred treasure

and the light

of her radiant smile.

Winter Shadows

In the shadows of winter, bark becomes prominent

in diffused light

the roughness of cold air,

with vague memories

of life lived in green

we pray for the life of the sun,

to be lifted again.

As the Wind Moves

As the wind moves through the mountains

my boots crunch the light dusting of snow.

I am the intruder here

and yet at home in the wholeness of the moment

fully embracing the peace,

mindful of a few clouds,

yet still seeking the sun

to warm my face,

and renew

the spirit within me.

Sun Kissed Leaves

Sun kissed leaves at the top of trees in the cooler air

where the hawk bathes his feathers

in the sunlight perched

on a large branch

sometimes stretching his wings

to scare the chipmunks

below.

A Piece of the Sun

Within the heart of our poetry

there is a light worth keeping,

a piece of the sun

to strengthen

and encourage.

Note: From my archives.

I Was Lifted Today

I was lifted today by the opening of the tulips to the sun,

and later the rain,

the beauty

in their vulnerability.

The Sweet Victory of Hope

Each leaf takes its turn, dancing

in the sunlight, proclaiming

the sweet victory of hope

in the affirmation

of spring.
