Afternoon Sun

Shade casts a chilly blanket upon the afternoon wall
As the sun takes refuge behind the midday clouds
Letting not the warm fingers of sunlight’s rays
Caress the weary travelers on their journey through life

Oh, winter sun, peer your weary eyes from behind the clouds
And allow us the pleasure of your warmth and light for guidance

I am so ready for the sun to warm things up here in Kansas. Thank you for helping me to imagine it today as if it were here already. The thought alone seemed to warm me up. You write so vividly and my eyes though they are weary can picture the warm suns rays caressing the open fields of the plains. Smiles from Lolita
