Rays Poems

She was light, I was glass, a reflection of the rays passing through me

She was light, I was glass, a reflection of the rays passing through me,
A dance of shadows and glimmers on the surface of my cracked heart,
Perhaps I wasn't the purest altar, for something in me always resisted,
Trying to mend her, to hold her, but shattering her fragile outline.

A branch tapped on my window, whispering that a new moon was secretly born.

Rays of Hope

The morning is smiling with me ,and I can feel the energy rising up out of the sea, the sun spreads it’s light upon the calm waters and I can feel the solitude of the universe bursting out of my mind. Everything  is calm and still and the birds were singing on top of

His eyes, molten amber in the midday sun's rays, shine with an intensity that takes my breath away,

Hard Rays

We fight stubborn ground, 
Heavy panels, slow progress,
Clean power awaits.

Spring Is Here

tulips turn their heads toward the warm sun
they drink in the sun’s bright rays

SUN RAYS

Sun Ray's blowing through the Sun kissed Wind
Arrows flying through
Barely able to Bend

Standing at the Door
Looking down at Me
Was The LORD'S HOLY Angel
Who might hold the Key

Rays Of Spring

Freed from burdens of cold ice carpets
Grasses resurrect from marshy pits
Rays from a red fireball from far
Shine like gold dust from a long lost star.
Songs of each bird have volumes hidden.
From freedom no one is forbidden.
