Sunlight

At first glimmer the rooster crows proclaiming dawn of a new day As critters flutter a barn door shudders sending the early bird on its way Among the leaves and hardy stems dewy petals curled so tight Leisurely unfurl and delicately twirl embracing the shimmering light Gently parting the drawn curtains waking with a glowing caress Lured from dreams with diffused beams the warm transition out of darkness Along with elements of fire, water, and air relying on its natural sustenance For growth and vitamin D, warmth and energy we cannot be deprived of our solar radiance
