“quiet sun”

Written for:  The Twiglets #281 - quiet sun


After the storm subsided
a pale, shy sun peeked through.


At dawn 
when the world is hushed
sun sifts 
through the sky.


crystal waters dance
glistening like diamonds
under midday sun


            On a cruise to sunny Bermuda
             as he was proposing to her,
               a rainstorm came down
               with no warning sound,
         and not one day of sunshine ensued.

I am a freelance poet, born and bred in Brooklyn, New York. I live with my husband, John, and two charming rescue dogs–Marion Miller and Murphy. We spent eight lovely years in Portland, OR, but are now back in New York. My goal is to create and share poetry with others who write, or simply enjoy reading poetry. I hope to touch a nerve in you, and feel your sparks as well.
