O sun /flower
























O
sun / flower
( hallelujah! )
rambunctious
golden petals
illuminate pink pebbles in a puddle
illuminate bedeviled black beetles
journeying on a dubious path

O
sun / flower
rambunctious
razzmatazz -- yes! -- razz/ma/tazz
zings six students skipping
zings a wise woman warbling
in mornings glistening cathedral
zings Lorena -- aye Lorena! --sneaking
in the rear door of Roberto‘s house

O
sun / flower
flame in the morning sky
blossom of my heart
essence of my being
splendor within
I meditate on your beauty

Today
I’m a monk
serene in your presence
surrendering to your flame

    I like the 2nd draft, but I also liked the first one. The 2nd one, however just sounds so much better. Once again, I'm not a professional writer, I wish I was, but this sings to me. It tells a story of a Spring that's finally come. Life has been renewed, there's hope again. And that long tunnel that was so full of darkness and that felt neverending has finally opened up to the light! For some reason I keep seeing bubbling little junebugs, scurrying along the ground happy to be out and about after being locked in darkness. This poem makes me happy. It gives me a feeling of lightness. I can smell the fresh air and feel the sun shining on me. I hope I'm making sense. I know that everyone reads their own thing into poems, but this is what I read and feel in this one.
