A Sanguine Sun

A Sanguine Sun I saw the first glimpse of morning sun He wore the faintest shade of pink. But before I had the chance to blink Golden wings opened. Day had begun. With eyes squinted, I watched him soar. He moved at a swift and steady pace. As his warmth bathed my upturned face, I absorbed his rays into every pore. I kept my eyes on him through the day. It was his job to keep the world bright Until his daily burden gave way to night And his shadows could no longer play. When I looked again he was sinking low A sanguine orb drowning in the sea Taking my life blood away from me ~ Fond farewells cause my tears to flow.

A beautiful tribute to Sun. Interesting last two lines, how you compared the departure of the Sun with to fond farewells. I like this, Lin. hugs!

G'morning, Kim, and thank you for liking this one. I meant for it to end as a double entendre. Relationships can begin bright and sunny, but they can also end in darkness. This one can easily be taken in either direction. Hugs back to you, ((Kim))
