More praise for the homeward Sun


from the ABC set Poems

First, bright flaxen lashes,
then the opened eye of sun,
like loud cymbal crashes,
flashes o’er the horizon.

Bright as inspiration,
it touches blank winter snow,
then out pours creation;
bright life flourishes and grows.

Now, with its awakening,
comes the pleasant dream of spring;
petals imitate its rays;
winging songbirds sing its praise.

Now, I see his golden helm;
he comes to reclaim his realm;
Winter’s watchmen overwhelmed
by homecoming hero Sun.

Thanks, Verdana.

Negativity, anger and pessimism have a loud voice; even on this website, but I really want to be on the side of the light.

Glad you enjoyed it.

I really enjoyed this one, JoHn. I agree with Verdana...the vocabulary you use is very 'golden' and very warming indeed. Just what I could with to day;-)

Have a lovely Christmas.
