Notes About The Poem

Sunshine Peeking Through

There is something essentially as beautiful 
As the majestic beauty of lustrous rays 
Of sunshine peeking through the split
Of a curtain drawn shut

Oh, how it dazzles with its glorious splendor!

Seeping through
A keyhole and under the door 
In the infancy of morning, gracing 
A dark room  with a golden bright light
A magnificent radiance!

May it linger on! May it linger on!
Could it be a shining light of hope 
For those lost in pitch darkness? 
Will it bring smiles to sullen faces?
Or give sight to the blind?

How mischievous , often flirting
And playing peekaboo behind 
Tree branches and a cluster of clouds
Invading apertures with its light

Oh, how it dazzles with its glorious splendor!
