The Sun

An ethereal warmth, I once attain A grasp of peace to grace the rain With every drop, a fervent bliss, A smile, a godsend from your lips I shall meet you there, In the poet's dream In an evergreen forest By a laughing stream Remembering every life we lived, Admitting every grief we grieved Each vision beaming, melting true, To the weeping sky, bursting blue I will not hold you to just a thought To a frivolous muse illusion begot I will hold you in my love, real as can be I will wake to you, the sun, rested and free -To Jack Ellison, my much needed sunshine Thank you for inspiring me!
