Golden Sun

The golden sun came out to play,
Lulled by the song of an empty day.
Casting a glow to light the dream,
She danced her rays upon the stream.

The depths that reach the silent tide,
Are born of hope from the prison inside;
To teach the bondsman how to praise,
The lovely warmth of sunlit days.

Perhaps the sun will wrap your soul,
With arms of light to make you whole;
Perhaps the sun will touch your face,
And fold you in her warm embrace.

Dance the path of silent sound,
And heal the wound that can’t be found;
For the sun can touch and the sun can heal,
All the sorrow that seems so real.

This is so lovely and the words are so true. Sometimes human beings get too caught up in their own bunch of " have nots and can'ts" that they can't see the many blessings they have been given. Great job my friend. God Bless, JB

The first, two stanzas are a melodic rhapsody. The rays caress, then the warmth penetrates our beckoning heart. Your rhyme scheme is exquisite as usual. Enjoyed your tribute to nature.
