I Took the Sun For Granted

~

I took the sun for granted,
when I saw it in your eyes
For nothing was more magical
on any dawning skies

Reflections filled with wonder,
tinted shades of sapphire blue
A captivating vision,
so enchanted was my view

For even when it’s cloudy,
chilly rains fall from above
The heavens hold the wishes
of your never ending love

I took the sun for granted,
now no need for its display
Your beauty is my sunrise,
every morning, every day

~

Lin Lane Date: 12/10/2019 9:31:00 AM "Your beauty is my sunrise..." there are so many thoughts whirling in my head, given rise as the sun does each morning. From my darkness, she offers light. Or, my day can only begin when I look into her eyes. I'd better stop there or I'll start writing, founded on your inspiring verses. Wistful this morning.
