IN THE SUN

Sun's light

Bright

Joy, child's expectation

In the sun

Was a child in a garden

Filled with insects strange

Quite wondrous

Joy, child's delight

Brilliant colors iridescent

Born in eyes so pure

Metallic reflections

In sparkling eyes

Joy, child's intrigue

In innocence I saw,

I smelled

Without thought

Or judgement,

Things called flowers

Joy, child's wonder

Things in shapes called birds

Things that flew

With feathers and eyes

Divine

Eggs in nests unique

Babies chirping yellow beaks

Necks stretched, reaching

For the light of the sun

Joy, child's rapture

The rain had fallen

Cool sweet air

In nostrils virgin flow

Puddles on pot holed paths

Reflecting

Upside down blue

Cattails, red winged black birds

Swimming, living bugs,

Magic fluid!

Little fish, baby frogs and Bubbles

There,

Just there

In the sun
