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.

Dear Amy, Very inspirational poem! Isn't it a shame that some folks live in darkness, never knowing the joy that sunshine and true love can bring? I'm enjoying your work! Thanks for your comments on Brian Strand's footle. He weighed in on it, and he seemed pleased. It's nice getting to know you. Love, Carolyn

The sun serves well as a wake up, as it gently kisses us with warmth and embrace of its rays. A lovely read that truly captures the needed beauty of the sun. Michael
