The Sun

I know for sure
That you are there
High above
Always fair

Even when
The clouds dismay
Block the view
In dreary gray

I shall not be
Hopelessly dissuaded
I will wait
To be serenaded

With the birds
Your accompaniment
The songs they sing
A virtuous moment

The colors displayed
In pure unison
Brightly shown flowers
A sublime sensation

When you rise
I run and play
Jump freely
In awesome display

When you fall
Asleep in slumber
Too I dream
Of tomorrow's number

What sightly rays
The melodic measures
Will you bring
That I can treasure

Then here you are
Awake I am again
Certainly pleased
Of your choral refrain

Up I go
In delightful mood
You are the best
My spirits renewed.

The Season of Fall

Brr
The cold speaks
It catches my attention
As my toes creep out
From under the covers
It shudders and shocks
I want to get back in bed

Brr
The wind blows
Briskly and with force
Slapping my face
Answering with a howl
The window shakes
Rattling a roll

Brr
The clouds blanket
It is still dark outside
The sun is held hostage
No rising light to see
Feelings of night
Wanting to sleep

Brr
The leaves scatter
Falling lazily
Littering the ground
Crackle and pop
As I step over them
To bits and pieces

Brr
The rain drips
Drops a bucket
Splish and splash
Thunderous lightning
Causes the awe
The powerful jolt

Brr
The cold bites
The wind chills
The clouds darken
The leaves wave
The rain showers
This is the season of Fall

The Morning Light

A ray cuts
Slices through
The darkness thick
Of a night deadly full

This tiny bright
Encounters with force
To begin the journey
For the day's course

A tiny bit
A little more
The deep abyss fades
Receding until no more

The brisk cold air
That shrouded the night
Leaves behind the dew
Of its morning last fight

Mine sight does see
The piercing beam
Through to the heart
Awake from the dream

Upon it is
A new daring day
Out from the east
Time to break for day

The warmth of the sun
Shatters the cold pane glass
It is the morning
The shine starts to amass

Time to forge ahead
Seeking the west
The morning sunlight
Beckons with its request

Ahead I will go
Into the shower
Cleansed by the light
Rejuvenated with power

The blessed illumination
Fulfilling in bountiful nutrients
A smile I am aroused
The sun provides and presents

Thus begins today
The full course of play
Strengthened I will go
Thanks to the morning light of day.
