Sunshine, when you first see it, is like
a
b
e
a
m

that makes the pupil
close to see it all
SkySkySkySkySkySkySkySkySkySkySkySkySkySkySkySkySkySkySkySkySkySkySky
and as the pupil closes, and the eye begins to open,
you begin to see that there’s much more to Sunshine than
just a beam of light, you begin to see that there’s a body there,
there’s a mind there, there’s a soul there; you begin to see the things
that make the Sunshine seem real to you, that make you want to touch it, to feel it,
to know it with your whole heart, you want to let it fill your being with it’s warmth
and happiness. . .and when it’s done these things to you, that’s when you know you’re
ready to open yourself to all the great things that the Sunshine has to give. . . the sound of it,
the taste of it. . . the wonder of it all. . . and that’s when you realize it, and you wonder why
you’re looking at the Sun, and that it’s been looking down at you all day. . . and smiling. . .
and that’s when you know that you’re not all alone in this universe because that’s what
Sunshine does. . . she makes us not feel so alone, it gives us hope, makes our dreams
real, and lets our dreams take shape, and, as we watch the Sun disappear on the

THis is sunshine, always coming over the horizon to greet you each day with such positive thinking and an exuberance that is contageous. She is always there, it seems to greet your poem with a wonderful comment laced with lots of love
You wrote her well, Sven. Another beautiful portrait

I have been amazed this entire morning, catching glimpses of this piece, which continues to overwhelm me...

astound me...

amaze me...

and thrills me entirely!

A thank you will never be enough Sven, but it is all I have.  Thank you.

and to all of the poets that have read this, thank you for your kind words...

you all overwhelm me...inspire me...and transcend me toward the heavens....

thank you all...

Just have to add my agreement to every lovely thing said about Sven, and his poetry, and the awesome subject of this poem.
You both bring a little ray of sun into my life.
