Steady Comes The Sun Poem by Susan Lacovara

Come steady sun
To find me filled with summer hope
Near a tree lined lake
I wear my open heart
To welcome with glad greeting
A gentle new beginning

Softly to straighten the linens
of my life
Waiting for the breezes
The beauty to take me breath away
The birds have followed me
From the long lonely winter
Nesting in my Cove of Contentment

And one has reached for me
Touched the stillness that ran deep
Unlocked the want to whisper again
Into the trees onto the Earth
Within myself

I take this chance
As I have before
To widen the warmth
To seize the summer's promise
To stay true to the belief
That steady comes the sun
