Wayward Sun

Beautiful beamer
Send a streamer
Help us to piece
To seize
These days
Rays us
Beyond these clouds
Of  hopelessness
This mess
Melt the fight
Show us the light
The way
To a brighter day

A very timely prompt for me, and society, from Poetry Jam, "Carry On"  (whoops, just found out that was last week! However, this week is "Soak" and this is a sun soaked poem, so I'm sharing it with the wonder-ful poets at poetryjaam.blogspot.com--My mind automatically went to the song by Kansas--"Carry On My Wayward Son". Hence the title :-)  Enjoy, hope that it lightens your heart a bit <3

    1. Hi Helen!! Beams and streams are lovely, at first I was going to try and play with the song "Beautiful Dreamer, Wake unto thee..." but it just didn't flow :-)

  8. Methinks peace, not piece, and raise, not rays, might have made more sense - at least to this reader...

  9. Hi Jinksy!! Nice to see you:-) I did play with switching peace and piece, however, since it was a solution type poem and I was toying with wordplay, I stuck with piece. And Rays was more wordplay with the sun inspired words. I like to hear comments that make me think about my choices, though, so keep 'em coming:-)
