Light and Hope

The sun lit up the dirt road
on a path to somewhere, I don't know
It lures me in mysterious ways
to look ahead and follow

I am not sure there is time to skip
It is only a moment, then the sun will sink
In the breeze where songs are made
I cherish the daylight with time to think

Then darkness will be met
But the music will be held
I choose the song and remember the light
will return with hope to weld

Heidi enjoyed reading your marvelous poem. It has a calming essence, capturing the transition as the sun begins its descent, adorned with vivid hues that beckon forth jubilant feelings to revel in the beauty bestowed by nature. A delightful poem

That moment when the sun is about to dip is adorned in colors--inviting joyous emotions to celebrate nature's gift. Lovely theme my friend--lovely poem, Heidi.
