There Is An Apricity To a Winter's Day

there is an apricity to a Winter's day
a warmth the sun freely gives
when the horizon breathes only in blue
as with music we love
it is never dated
as the sun bears down
all that lies in the joy of the season
glistens as a diamond upon Earth's crown
in this majesty we are free
the long-awaited miracle that resides
in the apricity in a Winter's day

   Oregon   8/23

Gary Radice Date: 9/12/2023 4:02:00 AM I'm exhaling CO2 feeling the chill but bathed in the sun 'neath a blue sky and appreciating it all more than I ever have in life. I am simply standing where your words took me Timothy. Cheers - Gary Login to Reply Timothy Ray Date: 11/22/2023 8:03:00 PM thank you Gary....

Anne E Sangster - K Date: 8/8/2023 8:26:00 AM This is truly lovely Timothy. For me the sun is a living entity and its easy to understand why ancient peoples around the globe worshiped and thanked the sun for its light and warmth. An enjoyable read for me this morning.
