Sun Alive

Sun Alive
    by Amy Swanson   


Sunshine...
   warm...
        on my face

forget yesterday

               today is new

it can be 

the best of the rest 

                  of my life...


Warmth
    you inspire
         my essence of being


and touch

 ~ kiss ~

this burdened soul so softly

     encouraging

              to rise 
                  
                     and

                           live.


golden to my core
    lovely uplifting
        your generous rays 
              soft-filled with light
                 dance gently on the water
              

Reflecting
 
Life

Reflecting

Love

Reflecting

Hope

I feel a peacefulness
    just being in your warmth
        eyes closed, heart beating faster from the heat
            bestowed on me 
                 your gift
                       of light

Rejuvenate
     my 
         spirit
  
Calm
     this 
         mind



                             I breathe in your light

                             (I breathe out my dark)


I am

new

this morning


                       and


I am



alive.
