Sunlight

poem by: Gerry Legister
Written on Feb 22, 2019

Sunlight has come, and the newest has day began 
With the sweet sound of sleep lay in curls beyond 
Weary limbs and rest, above heavenly skies waiting 
A flurry of voices to come from little birds singing.

Lofted wings of sunlight leap into a new horizon wide, 
with imagery of earth’s blue and bright turned upside. 
stars dancing on ice open throbbing awakening eyes,
heat reach the chain of haze stretch along the beaches.  

Bouquets of flowers marry perfectly with lush colors 
Solar power with their twinkling sites makes happy hours. 
When the sword blade of beauty glinted in the sunlight, 
Through the atmosphere comes a spectrum of visible light. 

The going down spear made a tiny window visibly appear, 
miles beneath the surface where sparkling streams are rare, 
Sunlight threatening to fade reflected from the mirrors
Retreating steam caught in the net with realms of stars.

At the world’s edge, it falls without fear into far space,  
Sunlight left over long enough to linger in a shadowy place, 
Now we sweetly sleep again, before the steady dawn rises 
From the other side, sunlight will come back to mesmerize.

Nice, however perhaps some more obscure referencing would add to the magic.

Reminds me of the feeling of spring it there on the horizon. Lovely poem indeed,

I really enjoyed this poem and the poetic imagery that you used about the sun's polar power etc.
