Let There Be Light

A scarlet Sun shrinks Night into shadows that hide behind whatever blocks its rays. And unleashes colors tethered to black, as Dawn sets ebony heavens ablaze. Sunrise colors clouds cotton candy pink; as though freshly inked by the breath of God. And as the Sun's warmth caresses my skin, I feel my soul approvingly applaud. A sensual sensation cocoons me as I bask in the embrace of sunshine. And linked by my connection to Nature, consciousness and reality align. Upon God declaring, "Let there be light," Sunbeams lit the Day; moonbeams lit the Night.

Lovely, Emile. My favorite line is "I swear, that I can hear my soul applaud." I can relate.
