Premium Member It didn't start with sunlight, but with that slow, unfamiliar feeling
It didn't start with sunlight, but with that slow, unfamiliar feeling Of being in my own flesh, without the desire to escape into the wind of oblivion, My body wasn't a fortress of strength, but it was mine, Like an ancient temple where I can sit without asking the sky for forgiveness. My hands no longer sought answers in...

The Quiet Sunlight
The quiet sunlight doesn’t announce its arrival— it simply leans against the wall of morning, filling the cracks no one else noticed. It does not chase shadows, just softens them. No battle, no brightness loud enough to burn. It touches the windowpane like a memory you didn’t know you were still holding. Warm, but not urgent. Present, but never demanding. It drapes itself across the cluttered desk, the wilted houseplant, the spine of a book you...

Premium Member Brainwash
brave words falling from my pen fill the emptiness a page of white nothingness working on fantasies, erasing all the wars with thanks giving hope to the spirit who sees beyond the dreams to the touch a ghostlike memory revealing the promises lost, exploding in the thoughts brought to life in rich reds, flaming ginger mysteries of a soul who breathes light from her prayers silently exposing naked hearts, so rare her stars in her...

Premium Member From the Outside
I can see you by the window from the outside Squinting, smiling through the sunlight You could see me in the corner of your eye But I'm miles away from the sight What’s the news, how is your blood glucose How did you sleep last night You can’t hear my voice I suppose You’d appreciate how hard I have tried You don’t...

Sunlight Within
Memories woven, like threads of golden light, Embracing warmth that banishes the night. Laughter's soft echo, a gentle, sweet refrain, Inner sunshine that washes away the rain. Treasured moments, like pearls upon a string, A heart of kindness where gentle songbirds sing. ©bfa031025 ...

Curly Serenade
The awning of Ovis, a shade from the sun, Cast patterns of light, where her story begun. Not rain-streaked glass, but a warm, open space, Where her curly brown hair framed a captivating face. She moved through the tables, a sun-dappled dream, Her presence a current, a vibrant sunbeam. "A light, if you have one?" her soft voice inquired, Her eyes, like...

Premium Member Glory of God
Sunlight dissolves the shadows, so peaceful Echoing across the meadows and hills Singing to the twilight edges who stills Revealing gentle, silence so easeful Winds expose the secrets of the morning As autumn’s glow colors the world in calm Gifting the whisper of stars through a psalm Poetries rise from the heart’s adorning Seekers of grace rush toward light’s soft flow Listening in earnest...

Premium Member Sailor
We journeyed then as whim behooved, Our lives were eddies, wind and play; Great hearts were we, so far removed Whence any mortal thought might stray. And sunlight streamed upon our souls, And starlight to the distance played; As softly lapping water lulls, I would it were and never fade. For we on honeydew had fed, And with the winter winds were wed, And so,...

Nature’s Whisper
I followed the beams beneath the cloud dotted expanse Dissolving into the earth like the glittering of morning sun Just beyond the weathered cedar planks, notes of crisp juniper invigorate my senses A winding path of moss-covered, rough-hewn stone The forest floor unfurls, a tapestry of hidden stories amidst the swaying willows Iridescent shards, luring me deeper into...

Premium Member A Vanishing Sight
From a lonely country road I saw in the distance on my bicycle a young couple in traditional dress lovely, in the evening sunlight crossing the wide winter paddy field . They might be returning home from a ceremony, a charming sight in the setting sun. Today, structures are coming up over the paddy fields, pushing nature further and further away . Schools,shops, and residential buildings rise here...
