Sunny1 - Midge in flight

Flying here and soaring there
Landing where she will
Sunny1 is Midge in flight
Collecting poet's fill

Though she collects, she also leaves a gift for all to see
That gift, a write so rare and true, it is pure poetry

Sunny's like a lightning bolt
That travels hither, yon
She lights up where she touches
And swiftly moves along

Though she alights, she also gives a touch that's hit by pain
In the brightness of her write, is poetry again

Sunny is a little bee
Pollinating life
Collecting smiles from you and me
Moderating strife

And as she hovers sups a bit, and then moves swiftly on
Her write expresses all she is, and speaks to us with song

Sunny1 is here and gone
As swiftly as the breeze
That blows upon a winter's day
Or moves the summer's seas

Her gusty write touches soft, rustles hearts and then
Shakes up heart's complacence, then she's gone till who knows when

A midge is tiny, tiny,
With a bite that really stings
Sunny1 is tiny too
With large poetry that sings

She hovers lightly everywhere both in taking and  in giving
In her write, she shows the care of loving and of living

Sunny1 is able to
see and hold the night
and there's a touch of stardust
in all of Sunny's write

Sunny1 a writer true, all she touches turns to gold
A midge in flight who takes us to, a place where life is bold

And not only that but she does it with her eyes closed and playing the keyboard.  This was a wonderful tribute to my sister of poetry and I know she is going to love it.  You are amazing my friend and have a heart of gold yourself.

Kethry love, as always utterly spot on, this fits her like a glove. You are always so absolutely perfectly acurate
Wonderful piece love utterly wonderful, and yes I love it
Take care

Take back the hope you gave,- I claim
Only a memory of the same

Thanks everyone,
although this is an okay write I'm not 100% sure I captured Sunny1 as she is so much more than I could encapsulate, however if you see a resemblance however small then it makes me happy. Thanks.

Sunny,
Well if you're smiling then I'm smiling... and that's enough.  
Be well
