The suns rays like a shaft bore Into my skin with a warmth that Aroused thoughts of loves thrill Shadows of tree limbs seemed to Play with the light as if trying to Rival what the sun was doing While the fragrance of Frangipani Enhanced my sensory delight
Sing pretty bird seranade my soul I need pleasure to overcome pain Sweet trills to give my spirits a lift My passions are in full bloom Everything I see is colored in sensuality Shine stronger sun I can take it I want to feel your splendid power Before the shadows surround me
You bring the last strong beams of sunshine into the season with this beautiful poem, Eileen. Your images are strong and vivid which made me think of the Bird of Paradise plants that would be showing off their vibrant blooms this time of year in my Southern California gardens. They were a joy to behold. As everything else was resting for the winter, my "Birds" were screaming their beauty throughout my yard.
Take care,
Sherry
Do those of us living in the Northeast a favor, send that stronger shining sun a bit our way, everything that is as beautiful as that flower & this poem here has frozen to death...of course Rufuz loves the cold...Ed
I'm glad flowers are blooming somewhere but around here that will have to wait until next Spring. A splendid poem on the realities of life and how we need a lift to overcome the pain it can bring and which we must endure. I hope the sun warms your soul and leaves no shadows to surround you but brightens your days always.
