Carousel Floating

Circular motion within the blue hue upward,
As bright as the wondrous crystals below,
Reflections glare, shadowing things unheard.
Only at daybreak will we understand its glow.
Until dusk shall you see power, it does hold.
Solar orb of glory, which gives life to all,
Evangelical design drives away natures cold.
Listen you may hear the sizzle of this ball.

From winter to spring, growing closer everyday,
Living creatures await the warmth it brings.
Our hearts and minds, warmed in every way.
As it devours, the frigid cold and nature sings.
Take notice that it still warms us on days of gray.
Igniting passion, delivering precious new beginnings,
Never faltering continuing its carousel of play,
Glowing solar flares proceed above floating wings.

Cecil, you have a special gift for creating vivid images with your words. I have written many poems about the sun and I love yours, especially the "Solar orb of glory, which gives life to all." How profound! And thank YOU for your kind words about the Valentine poem. Unfortunately, I wrote it long ago about my late husband who died young. Keep writing, I'll keep reading. Best - Carolyn

Wow. Hard to tell it is even an acrostic it is so well written! Love the carousel analogy as it brings enchantment to an essential and already enigmatic element we thrive on. Well done and good luck! Love, Shar
