The word today is soft but clear through slender threads of poet's flair, with wonders growing everywhere. The warmth is morning sun. The moon has kissed the earth goodbye and from the heaven's open skies in ready verse sincere and light the happy Sunshine comes. The old clock runs, the new muse steams and every memory jumps and dreams from heaven's call and promised gleam the Sun shines pure and bright. New words appear with precious taste and when the waiting pen awakes the pages booted true in place await the Sunshine quilted write. The souls with empty heartaches slowly yeild to the grief soothing flow. A mellow style where hearts can lighten up. In smiling file the reader's eyes go through the breathing words, past their once gaurded feelings, half concealed, now giving in, softened warmly by the sun. Where the last heartache faded at their brow, turning back worries now they internally weep. Far off the visions past begin to dim, fast comes the prose where no old worst can win. The halls sing summer songs, and new winds blow, beyond the naked eyesight, they glow. They shiver sad, but meaningless, they pray, wrapped with new thoughts, content to try and dream. The day goes by, a whispered song above the street noise, and beyond most see the sun in faceless throngs and swim in concrete seas. But treasurer of the moral ways glows that sweet Sunshine through the haze no greater way the world sings praise than to Sunshine's earthly rays. Dedicated to our own daily private ray of Sunshine. |

I have beheld in deepest trust feelings of one who surely must bear with me through thick, and thin so that I may grace here again In poetry then prose the True writes on beyond the pale into the dawn and the Sun beams... Thank you... |

Through a True poet's poem I've shone a light to beckon on a gleam of see this camraderie we beckon "stay, till dawn"... but the real reason I've come again is to mark "add thread to library" then I shall slowly descend again for 'tis your night to call upon the reason that you might be here calling out to "your one" sincere.... and Ethome...thank you again! Karilea If I whisper, will you listen?... I would rather be silent and write, than speak loudly and be bound. KRJ |

I could have sworn that I replied to this but I guess I must have been lost in the blinding light of her shine mixed with the radiance of your write. This is our sunshine for sure. You have done her much justice with this piece my friend. I guess standing in her rays as given you a little glow yourself not that you needed it. |
