Epiphany

In rich ruby rings of radiance, the sun comes out bold, 
Smearing and splotching the sky with liquid gold.
In my heart, the epiphany of a new vision unfolds
A plethora of golden possibilities it enfolds.

new paths wait ahead
must tread through untrodden tracks~
hitch wagon on stars

Sotto Poet June 23, 2026 at 11:17 AM Dear Valsa, your poem vividly describes the sun's rays striking the sky and uses this picture to symbolize a person's path to self-discovery and renewal. The use of colors and contrast to liquid gold works well to paint a clear picture. Best for a win
