While the Sun is Here

While the sun is here
We walk in gilded meadows
Talking of nonsense things
Light footed in the grass
Listening to the bumble bees
Understand their every word

While the sun is here
We bare our arms
Kicking off our shoes
Bathe our bodies in the warmth
Breathing the honey suckle scented air
Pick daisies with our toes

While the sun is here
We splash in bubbling streams
Sending sparkles of water heavenward
Make rainbows in the air
Marvelling at the shimmering colours
Soak our sun warmed skin

While the sun is here
We celebrate it
Paying it homage as we play
Stretch joyfully in its embrace
Sure only that tomorrow
Makes no promises of sun

It would be nice if we did have a promise of sun every day. Nevertheless your lovely poem brought some sunshine to me, LG, on this cool and cloudy afternoon. Tina;-)

Your brought me memories of childhood in this poem, long hot summer holidays, without a care in the world. Beautiful poem. Jenny.

Thank you Tina and Jenny for reading and commenting. I enjoyed the spate of sunny warm weather and am missing it already! I am solar powered, work better when the sun is out!

I really liked this one too. this isn't really the right country to be solar powered in is it <>

No, it's not really which is why I celebrate the sun when it is here, and solstice will be here soon...
