A Kiss of Sunshine

upon the still lake maple leaves float in sunshine red, gold and orange my heart swells with sad longings of Thumbelina’s lily flat, green and shaded the pink of lily petals bathed in only sun to be that child once again dreaming of the Fairy Prince bold and golden bee striped in royal black velvet lifted on sun rays I dream of holding a child a Gran reading fairy tales

Sun-spilt fantasies and nostalgic memories regally intertwined. The human element in the poem complements the natural scenery.

So soft and sweet and wrapped in the forceful divine feminity in its original purity. A poem that calms down in this hurry-up life of modern women. Thanks a lot, Debbie: I'll take time for my Fairy Prince today...but fairy tales for myself! Love, Hanitra
