In the Sunshine of Our Life

She’s out there in the cold
And I alone in her warm house
The moose is on the branch
She the owl, white as rice
I write of nature, because it is her nature that she play soccer
In 40 degree weather
8pm on a weeknight
While I type in her living room
Reforming myself
Seeing the monkeys on the branch
Realizing  the leaf may not block us forever
For the sun appears as everything blows
In The Sunshine Of Our Life

Hi Matt :) Very interesting way of depicting someone you love ( I think if you entered this in your own contest it would do so well, ^_~) I really like your last line in could mean so much & I would have to agree with you, sunlight definitely permeates and what a comfort that it does, thank you as well so much for my 2nd placement in your beautiful contest-- I am so happy you deemed it worthy for that-thank you :) I enjoyed writing that and now you got my mind whirring for your contest -nikko :)
