Reach to kiss the sun...
Giant waves toss and drift like lines of a great verse scribbled upon the
waters, as a roar of laughter emerges from deep beneath the great seas;
And in the ebb of her tide, I hear her sigh with joy as countless ripples
gather and ready once again to chase each other in play and rise high
above the surface of the waters, as if in trying to reach the sky...
Grey clouds roam the skies like damp thick blankets choking the heavens
and as the thunder rumbles, a shriek of lightening pierces the darkness,
when suddenly I hear the clouds burst in loud cry; And as their tears fall
upon the parched earth like a shower of silver threads, she drinks thirstily
while the mighty heavens proclaim Majesty of the sky in glorious raiment
of light...
Gusting winds race in solemn whistle across the vast empty plains like a
violin screeching in sorrowful tune; As the fierce & howling winds travel
farther and farther away, their cries of lament fade into faint whisper and
cease to silence as night turns to dawn; Soft warm sun rays touch my face
in gentle stroke, as I reach to kiss the sun & succumb to the fleeting instant
of joy...
