When once you find that sun
When once you find that sun
After searching for years
Going on only what you have heard, but never seen
With your own eyes; tales that brightness would make you blind,
Listening ear to door for that one footfall
When sun ascends the last horizon and appears
At first you don't recognize it's splendor;
Bearing the brilliant crown that you once were told of
Back in your deepest dark your loneliest hour
And you are startled when it recognizes your face
With small cupping hands of warmth
And kisses your countenance a golden highlight
From it's igneous soul of ancient flame
Glowing it x-rays your heart with it's shimmering visage
A benediction falls upon your life to never court darkness again
Henceforth you will live in the light; sing only his praises
And rue the night, and hate the shadowed
Strive all your life to never feel shame
Of what the unblinking light will reveal;
Your own humble pilgrimage that light shines through
Never dimmed by moon, comet or cloud
Because it is made out of heaven, made out of you
And because it holds not earth.
this is full of widsom of the light...yes, the sun is light, is warmth, is life, is lov... and would it be a stretch to say maybe the earliest people were right...sun is God?
another great mind provoking piece - shine on shine on
I loved that "you" was seeking the sun....usually the sun is the seeker of things ....chasing shadows into dark holes...I like how everything was transformed by this pilgimage...how one can escape a life of darkness...and how nothing can compare to a life in the sun
So uplifting and full of positive imagery - - I felt this verse had a tranforming energy bound in it's adeptly crafted lines.
a rebirth in heavens light
