Chasing sunlight 🌄

Thanks Esther for this week’s writing prompt which is light!

Through emerald fields where shadows play,

I chase the sun with eager strides,

Beyond the hills, where gleams of day

Eclipse the night, as darkness hides.

The golden beams, they dance and sway,

In whispers soft, they call my name,

To follow paths where dreams delay,

And hearts ignite with fervent flame.

Across the sky, where colors blend,

From dawn to dusk, they paint the air,

As daylight’s kiss begins to mend

The fractured hopes that linger there.

In endless chase, I find my peace,

For every ray holds tales untold,

With each new dawn, a sweet release,

In sunlight’s grasp, my heart unfolds.

Through valleys deep and mountains high,

I seek the light that guides my way,

With heaven’s glow, my soul will fly,

In pursuit of the sun’s embrace each day.

And as the twilight starts to fade,

I’ll hold the warmth within my chest,

For chasing sunlight, unafraid,

Is where my spirit finds its rest.

    Every so often, I watch you take another huge seven-league stride up the mountain of poetic excellence ~ and you seem to have done it again today. Some really impressive work here.

    It’s so near perfect that will you just take the extra syllables out of that one single imperfectly metered line?

    Sorry, sorry, you don’t have to, it’s just that it really would be perfect then.

    I wouldn’t suggest this to anyone but you, such a successful veteran of so much diligent inner work ~ but have you considered that one or another of you might be a little bit afraid of writing actually perfect poetry?

    Could he or she use some of the sharing and soothing and enlightening which some of you others are so good at providing (thanks to the fact that they know exactly what it is to feel awful)?

    Just some rambling thoughts for my friend 🙋
