The Sun Shall Rise Again

By:  Kevin V. Reese
November 20th, 2001

Dew glistens by morning light;
breathing life once more into fields of wildflowers.
Sunlight, again, bathes the earth in reflected glory.
The swallow sings her lullaby from above
as fields of grass dance on the wind.
Azure pierces billowing clouds to embrace
the landscape in resonate warmth.
Crowned mountains stand proudly,
basking in warmth and Heaven's light,
as wondrous night gives way to rising sun,

As the sun again rises,
so shall His light.
Returning always from its slumber,
to light the path from sorrow.

Grace trancends night;
offering hope,
once again,
beyond adversity.

Beyond the edge of disparity,
charged in darkness,
light abounds.

Wrapped in warmth and promise,
it flourishes;
showering hope with manifestations
of love and compassion.

Trust in light,
truest friend.
Darkness it endures always;
defeating misery
at the hands of our Father.

He patiently awaits
your return to His light;
carrying you through the darkness,
and reassuring you,
with the rising sun,
that tomorrow,
it shall rise again.

Moreover,
sharing His secret
in your sorrow.

Beyond life.
Beyond darkness.
Beyond fields
bitten by despair.
The sun shall rise again.

My guess is your wrote this after September 11.  My belief is that the real war is between creative and destructive forces, and that we help win that war by creating. This really is what your poem reminded me of -- much enjoyed.      ....jo
