Sunny Days

The Son burst upon my days
taking away the mist and haze
of times less bright.

Now my spirits climb
with anticipation of all tomorrows.
Empty spaces now fill 
as my heart stands still.

Lungs aftaid to breathe
in this illumination.
My heart does feed.

Words no longer on deaf ears fall.
The Son makes translucent my wall.
As day ends and night begins
a velvet warmth now sets in
and tomorrow holds the promise
of sun filled days.


I wrote this poem in 2003

I am having to pester friends to use their computers these days which makes it hard to get anything done. My mind has been more on survival of late than writing poetry.

With Jesus in my life (Son) then my days are sunny. Now that the Son has burst upon my life it has inproved my life. I now hear his words and the wall that was once a part of my life is gone. Because of that all tomorrows promise to be sunny days. I didn't realize that I was being that obscure. Huggs TLee

Thank you I am not trained or even self taught in the various forms of writing poetry and am just learning and expect that I have and will make mistakes as I go along. Thank you for your kind review. TLee
