Sun Kissed

The Sun rises gently as I tread
Casting streaks and shadows
Across the icy snow
It greets me cheerfully
As it peeks through the trees
Rising higher with each step
Shining brighter with each lap
The trees shield it from my eyes
Creating beauty as I pass
I never tire of its views
I get a thrill from each glance
I try to capture every moment
But lenses never do it justice
The peace and joy it brings to me
Can never be expressed fully
My images and words
Are my best attempt
To share with the world
The pleasure that I feel 
When it kisses me

MAL 2/1/19
Reflection upon my walk on a sun kissed morning. 

Morning Observation

The dew glistens and sparkles 
as the sun streaks across the grass. 
The trees are illuminated 
as if in a spotlight from the sky. 
Morning sounds of traffic and the birds 
compete to be heard,
as the squirrels scurry around, 
foraging for food.

The Sun lifts its head, 
warming my face 
as I walk quietly and slowly, 
inhaling the sights and sounds,
letting them sink into my skin,
nourish my soul,
calm my mind
and bring balance to my body. 

If we open our eyes and ears, 
we can find the beauty and joy in nature
amidst the bustle of the world. 

Two Sides

Flip a coin, choose a side
Black is black, White is white
Dark is dark, Light is light
Bright of day, Shade of night
Fade to Black, Rise to Light
Sun and Shadow play their game
Moon can pierce the darkest sky

Anger and Sadness, 
Love and Joy
Yin and Yang
we need them both
They coexist, 
Inseparable
If one were gone, 
the other would wither
Missing its partner,
one half left alone
carrying the burden all on its own

The eternal balance
is like a dance
back and forth
across space and time
Never ending, 
the cycle continues
The universe performs
its harmonic song

Angel Force Field

The angels are linked together
stretching from pole to pole
encircling the globe

Protecting and guarding
as the Earth spins on its axis
and rotates around the Sun

Infinite in number
Ever vigil, ever constant
Seeking to serve us
If we simply ask

Solitary Hike

The forest greets me with an array of colors
The leaves provide a carpet for my feet
The trees breathe life into this peaceful space
The sun plays hide and seek through their heads
as it blesses me with its filtered light

I am alone with no one but myself for company
The quiet seeps into my soul
as I patiently pave my way on the path
Time has no measure as I meander around

Nature is abundant in these beautiful surroundings
Completely supporting me as I contemplate
the meaning of my life

Award Winning Show

The trees shine in the spotlight 
as the curtain opens on Act 1
They stand in center stage and 
proudly play their part 
in the drama of the day

The Moon hangs in the eaves
while the Sun takes command
as Director of the show

It is a play we all know well
that has been playing for centuries
Never the same twice
except for the players
ever faithful in their craft

As the Final Act ends,
the spotlight slowly fades away
The curtain closes on 
another wonderful performance

The crowd stands to their feet,
erupting in applause
and crying "Encore!"

Night Shift

The Sun clocks out 
as the work day ends
He heads home to his 
nice warm bed

The Moon soon arrives for his 
shift in the night
Bringing mystery and magic 
with his soft, glowing light

He has a new outfit
for each day of the week
Sometimes he dresses boldly
Then other times is meek

His very best and finest
are worn on special days
Always charming and handsome
He is perfect in every way

As the Sun rises
his shift comes to an end
He quietly disappears
Our ever constant friend

Fall Day

The ground is wet from the night's rain
Dampness permeates the air
A puddle reflects the image it sees as clear as in a mirror

The sun is shrouded in a cloak of grey clouds
as if protected by a shield 
while it cuts the night and dimly comes alight

The plants drink their fill from their thirsty roots
The leaves stick to the pavement
as if glued in a colorful collage

Fall is upon us as it seeps into our lives
The changing seasons bring their varied gifts
Each day a new surprise

Inspired by another early morning walk in my favorite park

Waking Sun

The Sun is peeking out 
from its blanket of trees
as with a stretch and a yawn 
it wakes from its sleep

From its soft bed of earth
it slowly arises
and gently sits up
as it rubs it eyes

It plants its feet
in a carpet of sky
and wraps itself warmly
in a robe of clouds

It opens the door
to greet the new day
and takes a deep breath
of the fresh morning air

It is cheerful and ready
to go to its work
Illuminating the planet
with its golden rays

Inspired by an early morning walk seeing the sun peeking from behind some trees

Beautiful Day

Perfection can be found 
     in the simplest of things

In the sun shining warmly
     in a clear blue sky
     as it finds just the right places to land

In the breeze sweetly blowing 
     on your face
     each time you need refreshed

In the delightful mix of sun and air
     that begs for you to 
             Breathe It
             Soak in It
             Bathe in It
     until you have had your fill
             and then some

In the onset of dusk
     that signals you
     to come and see
     the end of a glorious show
     
In the colorful flowers
     showing off their blooms
     as they fill the evening air
     with their wonderful aroma

In the crunch of the leaves
     underneath your feet
     as you stroll along 
     the peaceful streets

In the trees reaching down
     to greet you as you pass
     with a cheery hello 
     and a nod of their head

In the pink-streaked sky
     as the sun takes it rest
     after working hard
     to brighten our lives

In the wink of the crescent moon
     as it makes a surprise appearance
     while the sun finishes its bedtime routine

In a day that was so beautiful in every way
     from beginning to end
     that your spirit soars
     to heaven to thank it
     for letting you truly
             See It
             Touch It
             Taste It
             Smell It
             Hear It
                 and
             Feel It
     with all the senses
     blessed upon you

Inspired by the enjoyment of the most beautiful day
as I was walking in the evening and contemplating it

Daybreak

The dewy mist surrounds me as I circle all around
It hovers in the air as it hangs above the ground

The early morning sky is shimmering with stars
As I hear the swift movement from all the passing cars

While they rush to the start of their busy day
In the quiet of my mind I prefer to stay

The dawn slowly breaks as the Sun begins to rise
The darkness disappears right before my eyes

I savor every step of my simple little walk
Taking time for myself with no need to talk

As I step off the path, the dawn comes at last
These timeless moments pass by us so fast

Inspired by a very early morning walk before the sunrise

Inspiration

The fresh crisp air caresses my face
As the Sun greets me with a warm embrace
The birds chirp and call from their hiding places
Nature blesses me with all its graces

The blue sky above fills me with delight
The dew on the grass shimmers in the light
The leaves whisper as they move to and fro
The trees freely tell me all that they know

Inspiration all around me refreshes my soul,
nourishes my spirit, making me whole

9/19/14
Inspired to write this on a walk in my little park,
with all of nature surrounding me. 

Splendor

I see 
the possibility 
of all that is to come
I smell
the freshness
of a brand new day
I taste
the sweetness
of love in my heart
I feel
the fabric
of my everlasting soul
I hear 
the gong
calling me home

I sense
the awakening
rising from the Earth.
I hope for 
Peace
pouring softly from the sky
I speak
the truths
whispered in my ear
I listen
carefully for
the beating of the drum
The ancient heartbeat
to unite us all
as One


I have 
Faith 
that Prophecies 
will come to pass
I will
Rise
higher than 
the Sun
To be
transformed 
into 
Pureness and Light
To see
my Spirit
in all its 
Splendor
Instead of
through a glass darkly

Love is Like The Sun

Love begins as a sunrise,
Fresh and bright as a new day.
Then as the sun, it climbs higher
And grows stronger with each passing moment.

Love gives us light in our lives,
And comfort from the cold.
Even when we are far from it,
Or cannot see it, we know it is there.

The sunset does not bring an end
        to the sun or to love,
Just a beautiful close to one
        chapter in our lives.
A new chapter will unfold with
        the next dawn,
Brighter and more joyful than the last.

Love Under The Sun and Moon

Our love began with a sunrise,
Bringing a fresh, new day into our lives.
It almost ended with the sunset,
While we stood together as friends.

But the dawning of another day,
Proved that friendship and love
      do not die with the sun.
Instead they grow stronger
      with each sunrise,
And promise more with each sunset.

No matter how many times
We've seen the Sun's golden rays
Start to shine about the horizon,
Each time is more beautiful than the last.

Or when we think that
We have seen each shape and color
It projects upon the sky as it falls
      back to its grave,
We will see another more wonderful and bold.

Love changes and enhances
With each sunrise and sunset.
Its joys are endless and powerful,
Bringing wonder and happiness
      each morning and evening.

The sun is like a warm blanket
      on a cold morning.
We feel its comfort wrap around us,
And feel secure,
Knowing it will be there day by day.

Just as the sun rises and sets
       upon each day,
The moon illuminates the night.
It is mysterious and changing,
Never keeping the same shape for long.
It can be a giant fireball in the sky,
Or hide its light behind the earth.

The sun brings light and hope,
And the moon brings romance and mystery.
Each is beautiful in its own unique light;
They are both more wonderful and beautiful
When we are together beneath their glow.

Love gives us new eyes
To see all of their beauty at its fullness.
Love draws us closer to them,
No matter how far away
      they are in reality.
Somehow, they can cast a spell
      on those in love,
Drawing them into a world
      where time stands still,
Allowing them to share their love
      a moment longer.
                                           MAA 10/31/97 

Love is Like A Circle

Our love is like a circle of pure gold,
Which contains the sun, moon and stars as one.
Our journey of love has barely begun,
All its treasures we have yet to behold.
As we see the path of our hearts unfold, 
And gaze into the brightness of the sun,
And see the gifts that true friendship has won,
Joy and happiness will be uncontrolled. 
                                                   
                                                                  MAA 5/25/98

Written for my husband when we were first dating. I attempted a sonnet but it just didn't happen. Maybe someday I will write one like my favorite poet Elizabeth Barrett Browning.
