Sun

Sun comes stealthily through dawn’s blush - peeking up over the horizon. Climbing steadfastly to celestial heights - he reaches the crown of day as one who reigns supreme. Extending long arms, Sun shows forth his splendid strength - granting all subjects below. . . . illumination. Spreading his warmth, he exerts “sol” dominion over all. I show devotion baring skin to sky's great light. . . . warmth embraces me.

Excellent Andrea!!! I feel this warmth and would like to see more of the sun:) We're having yet another storm...had one just this past Friday. Think someone pushed the snow button and now it's stuck permanently in the 'on' position;)) Best of luck in "Nature, Four in One" contest!!

You have given life to the sun in your vivid description, Andrea. Best wishes for success in the contest. I wrote quickly for Carol Brown's and John Freeman's contest, but will probably not have time to write for this one. I am out of town until Wednesday, but wanted to say hi. Love, Carolyn
