Autumn Sun

Benevolent sun

Sending your healing energy

Touching wounded hearts

OIn the Silence I feel the autumn sun rest its hands on my shoulders, sending heat deep into my body, relaxing muscles, easing aching bones, melting a frozen heart. On days like this, when trauma returns to taunt a happy moment, sitting in the sun in a safe place on the porch, the monster quickly turns away to play with the shadows dancing with the breeze.

Autumn Sun

Brilliant colored sunrise

Blesses the sky with its magnificent arrival

Every day, like a revolving kaleidoscope,

A new creation peeks up from the horizon

Sending the dark night on its way.

Cool breezes pass by on their juourney

As the day warms up in sun’s loving arms

Stretching toward the earth to embrace life here.

Even those days when rain is inevitable

Portended by heavy dark churning clouds

The autumn sun continues its promise

To protect the most passionate prayer

Its light remains shining

A constant reminder that each moment is

Well worth breathing.

Arching through the vast expanse of never ending,

Arriving at the end of its day’s delight

The sun sets gently, singing out glorious pastels

Reaching gratefully into the day just passed.

Slowly sinking out of sight

Leaving the Earth and all its inhabitants

To begin deep dreaming connections with memory

Of the daily dance of the autumn sun.
