Notes About The Poem

A Sunshine Riddle

I am fervent honeyed sunshine, and I'm still in my youth,
With warm colors ever varying, as in deep darkness I move,
I am a bluebird singing, from the leafy boughs of a tree,
I am the iridescent  rainbow, and wave motion on the sea.
I am the raging fire, that has suddenly burst into flame,
And I am the hopeful dawn, and green wilderness untamed.
I am the opening and close of day, and luster in between,
The vivid butterfly scene, and the pearly moonlight sheen.
I am mountains sand and clouds, sapphire skies and flowers,
I am all colors, and to living creatures, my light matters.
Who am I? Answer: The sun

I know who you are - a writer I thrill to read. I doubt I'll find anything less than more poetry pleasure when ever I visit. Until tomorrow (I hope, I have a lot of domestic chores piling up. A joy ... CayCay
