The sun has no alternative and it stretches out but it’s a lonely voyage through layers of “not yet” to the full glory and wonder of noontide. Alone it feels the burn of a timeless yearn to no more be trapped on the outskirts of love but to organize priorities, pause, and enjoy, the infusion of harmonious new energy before its fire starts to wane and the night triumphant reigns. Higher, higher, in the sky sun rises to the call but rain penetrates the heat haze of a need and cools the edges of repetitive endeavours to enliven its mind to a broader based view. Around and around; the sun goes around the perimeter of love like a peeping tom unable to go from witness to partaker and too weak to undo the knot of conditioning. The sun is nearly there directly up above but my eyes are downcast, my heart in sympathy, for all who walk the “not yet” trails, shine halfheartedly, and reach the peak of human needs unmindful of the spirit. Around and around till in death we’ll maybe find the sun has stayed behind, the night has claimed the crown, and clouds of regret hide the pale moon light! |

"for all who walk the “not yet” trails, shine halfheartedly, and reach the peak of human needs unmindful of the spirit." Powerful write, Helen. Great imagery and metaphor. |

Thank you all so much for reading and for commenting. Dixie - it's okay, I'm not able to be on line long enough to interact with others so ... what goes around comes around. Internet access here is extremely expensive - perhaps one day it will be available more easily to the less financially blessed but thank you for your concern. |
