Brilliant Warm Light Poem by Elizabeth Shield

Brilliant warm light, a summer day
Daisies bobbing up and down on a summer breeze
Green grass so smooth and fresh
Lovely sunshine
From inside me

It springs forth in my smile
My eyes, half open
Still heavy from sleep
Are blissfully calm
They are smiling too

The sun, shines through window
It lights up my hair
Hanging over my shoulders
Soft and warm
Like a feathery cloak

I want to run
To sing and dance
To lay in the sunshine
To feel the wind over my skin
I’m just so happy to be me right now

Inside me is a bright spring day
Though outside remains the winters chill
And falls leaves still dust the ground
Soon it will be Valentines Day
Spring is coming

Brilliant warm light, a summer day
Bursting forth from my heart
I want to hug the ones I love
And laugh until I cry
And run until my cheeks are pink with the cold
