An Invitation I Could Not Deny

This morning, soft amber light woke me.
Its warmth held me in a lover's embrace,
whose fingers gently touched my face.
Sunshine danced with such lively esprit,
beckoning me to come and play outside.
An invitation that could not be denied.

Enjoy your time in the sun, Lin. Sometimes we just have to let go and get outside and enjoy nature a bit. Good luck in the contest! A poet friend in Texas, Bill

Morning, Bill. I'm not big on laying around in the sun, but these lines are what came to mind for this contest. I'm glad you like them. Thanks.
