Streaks of Brilliance

Exciting... inviting... Skywriting... Anticipation's wing Horizon's swing Eyes peeled on the Heavens Murky darkness imperceptibly whitening... Lighter, lighter Brighter, brighter Streaks of brilliance appear Deepest red, fiery orange Delicate pink sherbet Expectation's peaking Too vivid to curb it... When at blinding speed, of a sudden Here comes Life. ~ Here comes the Sun

'Here comes the sun; its alright" - I love that song, and this poem - especially 'Horizon's swing' and 'delicate pink sherbet'.

Very, very sweet comments, Michelle---from a very, very sweet lady. Deeply appreciated, esp. as I really struggle to write poems like this one. Maybe someday they'll spill out of me, but for now it's work, work, work. Thanks again! :) gw

Well that's a definite "fav"; it's to well painted, not to be "fav'd". Lovely Gershon.
