What is it About the Sun?
that warms me
all the way to my heart?
What is it about the sun
that makes my soul sing,
bouyant with hope again?
And stirs up expectation
like green shoots
peeking above the ground
after a long winter.
What is about the sun
whose rays glance off
the thawing lake
making sparkles
that dance in our eyes?
Cajoling, warming
even the cold roots hiding
deep underground,
promising them new life.
Playing, sending patterns
of the window pane
crisscrossed on the rug
Dazzling, glancing off
the crystal on the shelf
making diamonds in the air
Beaming, throwing
its golden aspect
over all the cares of winter
softening troubles
and warming possibilities.
Loving, shining
light from God
into our lives.

Post a CommentI just hope we see more sun this year than we did last year.
Oh Linda, this is just wonderful. One of your best. Keep em coming. I'm going to make double sure that I'm subscribed to you because I have not been getting notified.
Love what the last couple lines may be alluding to :)
The sun can be a mystery, but you are right. There is definately something about the sun. Like the Beatles said: "Here comes the Sun"
Reading this gave me such a good feeling. Thanks for cheering me up. :-)
I left work the other day and thought "what on earth is that big bright yellow thing in the sky?". It's nice to see the sun again. I love the sunshine.
Beautiful! Sunshine and Sonshine! What fantastic gifts.
Nice poem. We have lost the sun for the past few days, but the temperatures are starting to hit 60, so I'll enjoy that for a while as the flowers start coming up through the ground freshly watered by the melted snow!
I love this, Linda! It warms me through and through! I have not received any notices from you, but I am trying to catch up to everyone! I'm running.....running...running!
I didn't get one for this, Linda, but did for your last one. Good stuff here!
