SUNLIT CROWN

SUNLIT CROWN
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Dawn brings a sunlit crown, smiling upward at the black, star-studded heavens. The dawn is the invitation to the day, a the gift of the present. 

the world awakens slow
from slumber's heavy veiling
morning's gentle touch

silent darkness fades
morning's warmth begins to seep
into the heart's core

Sunlit Hair

     the breeze lifted her sunlit hair
        danced to and fro a moment there

     her flowery skirt swayed
        to a melody no orchestra played

Sunlit Whispers in my Garden

Golden sunlight, soft and bright,
Filters gently, warm with light.
Through the branches, high and low,
Warming all the earth below.

Azaleas blush in pink and red,
Geraniums lift each vibrant head.
Roses whisper, petals wide,
Bottlebrush stands with crimson pride.

Rhododendrons in magenta hue,
Hydrangeas paint the world in blue.
Zinnias sparkle, bright cascades,
Marigolds glow in golden braids.

Star jasmines mist the air with fragrance,
Butterflies heed lantanas’ bright summons.
Ladybugs twirl, insects glide,
Nature’s rhythm sparks a smile.

The pool, a mirror in the light,
Cool and crisp—a shining sight.
I dip my feet, the world feels kind,
A grateful heart, a tranquil mind.

Sunlit Signs

What I don’t display,
Is good that you don’t see.
The music moves as you play,
Spirals and fades away from thee.
The weeping willow tree,
Smiling before me.
Que sera, sera.
You can only see my every flaw.
   Like those from our previous lives,
We march unto an ungodly death.
Not knowing for what we thrive,
With our cold and shallow breath.
Up the snowy mountains depth,
Dusty grounds the wind hath swept.
To the nest, the mother bird returns,
Only to discover that her eggs were burned. 
   No tree remains,
Because she only wanted more.
Let us sing woe, not praise,
For this has happened before.
Is a swelling crescendo in the score,
Truly what we are searching for?
A piece of information,
Used to make a whole new creation?
   These Sunlit Signs,
Are leading us to the right story.
Read between the lines,
The empty void of purgatory,
The telltales of your own glory.
Just stop and listen for me,
To understand the meaning of you and I.
There may be signs reading,”The end is nigh”.

Sunlit Forgiveness

Golden rays drenching
The long-shadowed vast tundra
Thawing nature's grudge

Sunlit Sea

The colorful waves of a sunlit sea
Can warm your heart for eternity
And the crashing sounds when water hits sand
Will fill your mind with thoughts of this land
A land where you could be free
From life pain and suffering 

Take a breath… 

look up, you’ll see
The colorful waves of your sunlit sea

Sunlit Curls In Rendezvous

in morning light 
sunlit curls in rendezvous 
with the wind

Sunlit

"Sunlit"

The sunlight 
burnt their skin

they felt alive
at least

they began
to live again

bare legs bare feet 
cool water,
 
the sensual 
diving in

lovers wrapped
up in the ocean 

of another world
in themselves

alone
but not alone

Sunlit

Sunlit Dewdrops and a Child's First Poem

In a field of green, where the sun shines bright,
Dewdrops glisten in the morning light.
A child skips and twirls, with a pen in hand,
Ready to write his first poem, in this enchanted land.

He stops and stares, at the beauty all around.
The flowers, the butterflies, and the buzzing sound.
Inspiration flows, as he puts pen to paper,
Words forming akin to magic, in a world of wonder.

Sunlit dewdrops are similar to diamonds on the grass,
And colors of the flowers are a sight that will not pass.
The child's heart sings, with each word she writes,
His first poem is complete, a creation so bright.

As he reads it out loud, the world seems to pause,
The beauty of his words was a case for applause.
The sunlit dewdrops, and the child's first poem,
A moment to cherish, forever to be a totem.

Sunlit Sky

Standing silently, she smiled
Spinning, spinning sunlit sky

Standing, surrounded
still, still

Scatter, settle
sit slowly

Stand, smile sunlit sky

Sunlit

in the mellow morn
a revelry of roses
pervasive heat, grapes

glossy trees tremble
day's marching into the gold
butterfly frenzy

the day star twinkles
entering doors and windows
housewarming party

a straw hat parade
in many styles and colors
boulevard boogie

Be Gentle As a Sunlit Cloud

Do not in your spirit, let disquietude roam.
Close your ears, to each hour’s lies spoken.
Or, you won’t know this…but your heart is
verily broken!
Your spirit looks for resentment, then your 
soul becomes its home.


Satisfied poets are grateful for what they have done.
Be gentle as a soft cloud, for all poets here are of 
rain-bowed vicissitudes.
Living in varied global-latitudes,having mixed attitudes.
Forget not, gratefulness under God’s golden sun!

Sunlit Bushes

sunlight creeps along
glance across berry bushes
faeries tittering

A Psalm In Flight To God

** A Psalm’s Flight to God **

Lord God, my love reaches to
You on an imagined flight —
Leaping 
With my wished-for wings.
Soaring!
To the midst of a determined flock
Setting out
To cross hemispheres, homeward;
Heaven-ward
By instincts you instilled…
By way of wind waves 
— riding or battling
The air: through the impassioned arias
Of Earth’s orbiting.

Wing tip to wing tip,
Magnificent flocks —
I shall never see —
Beyond any range I can imagine,
Above the never-scaled mountains 
   of sunlit clouds…

Beauty alive to inner eyes:
Intent on a sight 
   and flight
In the focus of your glory, Lord…

The route — still but a hint 
   in my heart — 
I guard 
And by which I patiently wait,
   singing psalms, wondering
If that could be
The rainbow tip of your brush
I see painting sails 
On my soul…

Thanks be to God

Sunlit Brighten Song-

She kissed the moon with her eyes;
And just before the sunrise she hugged the sun;
And whence evening fell fully come;
She witness the sunlight brighten song---
