In Sun's warm light



Sun, you warm my body
But not so my heart
You shine on me
But that’s not enough
Where is she gone?
Where does she bask?
Why are you so bright?
Yet you answer not
When I stare at you
Behind a cloud you hide
With the truth in shade

The wind does tell
Of so many tales
Like him I do rage
He whistles up a storm
That clouds my mind
With thunder's shout
To make me think
Of many other things
As I stand alone
But I’ll not be fooled
By nature's wiles

I will bring her back
From Hades grip
Unlike Orpheus
I have no lyre to play
But will rescue her
From that dark realm
To bask yet again
In Sun's warm light
In my loving arms
She’ll be embraced
Forever and a day

  1. Wow! If the sun continues to shine, it will shine on thee! I like the three part story here and "But I’ll not be fooled
    By nature's wiles"--whether storm rages or sun glows, nature is trying to please the speaker. I love that!

  2. "I will bring her back from Hades"...an unusual thought for sure. I love the picture you have posted to accompany this lovely story.

  3. Sometimes we cannot rescue ourselves - it's nice to think when needed someone else can help us

  5. Love the heroic character of narrator, who is ready to defend his love from 'nature's wiles' .

  10. I love the Orpheus reference. Such a powerful tale of love and of our own foolishness.

  13. Like the twist on the Persephone story. Hades grip is too tight. He never lets go!

  16. Old Egg,

    Sad when a love has been lost and remains in mind and with a great yearning, no matter what the weather. So well told through this poetic form...
