My Day In The Sun

today nothing
shall cloud me
in my sunshine
of joy
and even if
I dance in
the rays alone
it does not
and will
not diminish
the warmth
I do not
have to stand
next to fire
to feel
or remember
the heat
for the sun
is a blazing flame
to return
day after day
that shall
bathe me
in beams
this day
my day
in the sun

This is utterly beautiful. I read it like one strolling sentence... I hope that's the way you intended. For it never lapsed in its intensity of thought.

Helen, oh I love this, because I too find comfort and strength in the suns rays. Well done as usual. Chris

We all need a day in the sun I think. Nice work, Helen.

I know what those days in the sun are like and you have described a day in the sun in a way that the reader can understand and relate to...enjoyed.
