Sunshine, when you first see it, is like a b e a m that makes the pupil close to see it all SkySkySkySkySkySkySkySkySkySkySkySkySkySkySkySkySkySkySkySkySkySkySky and as the pupil closes, and the eye begins to open, you begin to see that there’s much more to Sunshine than just a beam of light, you begin to see that there’s a body there, there’s a mind there, there’s a soul there; you begin to see the things that make the Sunshine seem real to you, that make you want to touch it, to feel it, to know it with your whole heart, you want to let it fill your being with it’s warmth and happiness. . .and when it’s done these things to you, that’s when you know you’re ready to open yourself to all the great things that the Sunshine has to give. . . the sound of it, the taste of it. . . the wonder of it all. . . and that’s when you realize it, and you wonder why you’re looking at the Sun, and that it’s been looking down at you all day. . . and smiling. . . and that’s when you know that you’re not all alone in this universe because that’s what Sunshine does. . . she makes us not feel so alone, it gives us hope, makes our dreams real, and lets our dreams take shape, and, as we watch the Sun disappear on the HorizonHorizonHorizonHorizonHorizonHorizonHorizonHorizonHorizonHorizonHorizonHorizonHorizon waterwaterwaterwaterwater we know that our lives are made better, waterwaterwaterwater waterwaterwaterwaterwaterwaterour joys are more joyful, our hearts arewaterwaterwaterwaterwater waterwaterwaterwaterwaterfuller, and our voices sing to the skieswaterwaterwaterwaterwater waterwaterwaterwaterwaterwaterall because, we saw theSunshinetoday. . .waterwaterwatertwaterwater waterwaterwaterwaterwaterwaterwaterand we felt its warmth. . .waterwaterwaterwaterwaterwater waterwaterwaterwaterwaterwaterwaterwaterand its love. . .waterwaterwatertwaterwaterwaterwater waterwaterwaterwaterwaterwaterwaterwaterwaterwaterwaterwaterwaterwaterwaterwaterwaterwaterwaterwaterwaterwater ----------------------------------------------------------------- < !signature--> That which gives light must endure burning --Victor Frankl [This message has been edited by Sven (edited 11-20-2000).] |

I have been amazed this entire morning, catching glimpses of this piece, which continues to overwhelm me... astound me... amaze me... and thrills me entirely! A thank you will never be enough Sven, but it is all I have. Thank you. Karilea If I whisper, will you listen?... I would rather be silent and write, than speak loudly and be bound. KRJ |

Sven, Cool graphic my friend. May the sun always shine upon her. Well done. ![]() LW Poetry should surprise by fine excess...it should strike the reader as a wording of his own highest thoughts and appear almost a remembrance. -J.Keats |
