Sunshine Poems

County Road 43

the road became a tree-lined tunnel—flickers of
crepuscular rays try to play tag with the squirrels 
as they stutter-dash across the shafts of you’re-it!
a free for all, until the road-tires butt-in—
flattening all the rules on a tire-treaded squirrel.

the light reacts with a sudden shift—to renew.
anticrepuscular rays converge to the antisolar point.
a change in perspective as the

Arising Sun

Horizon becomes lighter.
Sunrise becomes brighter.
Sky becomes paler.
Clouds become whiter.

Break of day

that first glorious sunray through my window

Drowning In Dawn's Beauty

Dawn's lullaby serenading thy soul

Tranquil waves caress the shore

Morning's golden hues ascend

Light dancing curls and bends

You softy twine the morning ebb

And drown in love in nature's bed

A sunrise like no other

faerie kisses to usher in the morning

Sun

Shining blanket drapes the early morning sky,
Under its glow, vibrant shadows made to flow,
New golden rise awakens a renewed hope.

Looking for Home

we need adult pants
to confront our dreams demise
before time waves bye  ~
moving to a sunny state 
might turn our sadness around

no more lush yard land
useful outbuildings scattered
old farm house we love
maybe sad byes to willows ~
then hi to palms and beaches

we felt this was home
an old house where we belonged
not the landlord though
so to

September One in our Sights

      If the sky above is dark and gray
        and your inner blues won’t go away
 
      Think of what is bound to come
        by Monday morn, September one 

 

Alphabet of Light

the early sun drapes gently across the branches
a whisper of promise, of new golden chances
A BRIGHT MORNING OPENS EVERY QUIET DOOR
and shadows retreat where the sun will restore

love clings tenderly in petals that shine
hearts lift overhead like branches that climb
BEAUTY BECOMES BLOSSOMS, BOLDLY BREAKING THROUGH
and faith feels steady, reshaped and born anew

waves whisper gently, curling

The Madman

Sunshine and revelry steeped the day like sweet tea dripping over a glass's edge. Overflow dribbling down rejuvenated the laughter of the gut and burst forth into an excess of jubilation. The cup wants to be filled with adulation for the man to drink; the man is a goblet steeped by the day. Over him

Horrid Heat

            sweltering summer sunshine

On A Sunday Afternoon in The Garden

bright yellow throats 
trumpeting a sunlit joy -
daffodils

drowsy afternoon -
day dreams scented
with white magnolia

plum tree -
silhouetted in sound
by buzzing bees

Lay Your Leathery Heat On Me

Oh Summer, let me count thy ways as I bask 
inside the sunlight of your sunny spice 
Oh Summer, may I drink from your flaxen flask
before winter turns my skin as cold as ice

Oh Summer, dance me to the end of August 
then dance me to the end of love.  
Oh Summer, before my

Sunshowers

Surprise sun showers

will sparkle in midday

silver saliva droplets

drip down Sun's blushing face

dewey unprepared petals

a surprisingly similar sensation

shuttering of screen doors

dreaming with eyes wide open

blowing around in warm wind

watching dark clouds roll away

now only cool wind blows

pushing away the hottest day

gold sunrise

a dark sky brightens
as a bright gold orb rises~
breathtaking sunrise
