About This Poem

Afternoon Light

Golden
rays
cast two lines,
one shaded dark, one light
upon the carpet where I lie still.
This is winter light in the afternoon of my discontent.
Why cannot I be happy with this small glory; why must I yearn for the blinding light of summer,
when the carpet on which I sleep will scorch my back with heat and blind my eyes, making me flee the sun in search of shade, where I will think with fondness of snow and ice?

    Nicely out my friend. We never appreciate what we have, just what we don't have. Great job here. And thanks so much for your kind reviews. God Bless, JB
