What the Sun Saw There you stand, under sun so rare surveying the land within your care your head tilts to the meadowlark press on with work before the dark I bring to you a small repast to tide you through the noon I lay slight hand upon bronzed arm and a wink of promises, soon. Before I leave, I kiss your brow taste your salt of soul 'pon my lips you ask for the promise to be, now but my smile is all you sip. at the hour of four o'clock I come to take you in instead you catch me by the arm with taut hand, caress my chin Laying palm upon your face you take me in your strong embrace my head comes to your chest so strong we are where we both belong Gently now you lay me down upon broam and Indian grass and there below the autumn sun the remaining day shall pass ©Karilea Rilling Jungel 30 September, 2000 |

Karilea, what a piece! (And on a Sunday morning!!) I enjoyed it much, though!  False gems may shine as brightly as the genuine article, but there are always those who can tell the difference. |

Karilea - this is very sweet. Love in the afternoon sun, on the grass. How this reminds me of love in the summer sun. |

Love like this in any season would be to take up the Autumn in passion's purity. What a wonderful vision I get from this. Now I know how I want my tomorrows to be spent. |

Wow, folks, this kind of took on a life of its own... Sunny1, it's OK to come right out and say I'm touched...LOL... Paula, so right... Lovebug, oops for the Sunday post... LJA, just watch out for ticks... Mark, we all wish for your tomorrows to come to you as requested... Mr. Yeats, why thank you, he thinks so, too...  Melissa, you sweet thing, thank you... JM, a "fav" huh? Funny how I can read more than just one... Marsha, I keep finding these lumps of coal, but I'm glad you see the potential... Cerenity, your calling this "art" pleased my heart very, very much, thank you... Sven, perfect. Thank you! Karilea When you want to be loved, look within...KRJ |
