Spellbound by Sunlight


There's something magical about sunbeams!
Spellbound by sunlight in my waking hours,
those rays that come alive post morning dreams
start up my day with brilliant superpowers.

Miraculous how sunshine fills our days.
The Sun, a star, has captured in its sphere
this planet Earth, that feeds upon those rays-
and through my window now lifts me with cheer.

From way above, as seen in endless space-
post the creation of our Galaxy-
Sun's energy splays with a warm embrace-
now flies across my room to rapture me.

Oh, wrap me in your light, embracing Sun-
while my new day with you has just begun.

Dear Sandra, This is beautifully written and flows in such a way that makes me want to sit in sunlight, wrapped in poetry and just go with the flow! I especially love the ending here "Oh, wrap me in your light, embracing Sun- while my new day with you has just begun." For some reason, my mind found peace through these words and more. Pleasure reading this. Thank you for sharing. Congratulations on your win. Sending you light always
