Notes About The Poem

Musings of the Mind Poetry Contest

Spellbound by Sunlight

Spellbound by sunlight.
A honeyed, glittering light,
Peace and joy,
Welcome the day.
Life truly exists
Only where there is,
In this sense, love.
   Miracles,
      A single breath
         Makes life feel whole.

Find me
Among the tallest
Sunflower blossoms,
As waves of smiles
Flow toward me,
While birds soar
In the warm beauty
Of the sky’s face,
Giving it meaning.
         Yet, nothing lasts forever.
