The Sun Upon Us
You rise in defiance
of darkness,
seize tight the sky.
Draw oak’s twisted sinew limbs,
and glitter clouds with dreams.
Life labours below your gaze
while casting constant flame.
We blossom in your rise,
and flee your thorny light —
but marvel as you set.
4 dVerse Quadrille #89 ©️ Misky 2019
At this time of the year I marvel at every ray of light.

Beautifully written! I especially like the phrase “thorny light.” Very evocative.

There is beauty in each rise and set if we truly look.
