The sun today was slow to leave
as if it knew the time was right
to linger here a longer time
and stroke my face, neck, body,

And we lay together both entwined
in the process of creation
one globally, the other individually
in the blessed peace of Sunday
that came calling unexpectedly.

It’s like we garnered in our strengths
and disbursed them to each other
like two lovers in the joining
of both flesh and soul
to set forever love’s desire
into the atmosphere.

It could have been a bird
that flew unhindered up
or a wisp of imagining
but I choose to believe
love’s desire is now on course
to where it has to be
to manifest a dream.

To soon, too soon, the sun moved on
to shine on other lands
and I wonder if it’s following
to ensure safe passage
for love’s desire now in the sky.

But there were yesterdays
when sun and I entwined
and love’s desire perhaps now lost
in that vastness of sky!

Yes, very beautiful, this feeling of being entwined with the sun, when its heat is life-giving and enhances dreams.

No, it is not lost, it inspires you so powerfully.

Love and hugs.

You are as our sun...you shine on all of us with your lovely work.  We'll borrow it for awhile and then send it on your way...

Dear Helen, this reads like a prayer, on the wings of a dream.  
If there is such a thing, and even there isn't,  I loved getting
lost in your Sunday poem.  Thanks for this, it's been a long time.

Hugs, honey honey~
