I was drawn back to read again. The luscious imagery: clinic of solar psychology, yellow beret, layers of dessert, dreams of flying south in a song (aha! I see the plane! ), turbulence of joy and love, purple waves breathing. What a glorious gift you have and I feel blessed this morning by your sharing it.
Hey, have you read Jonathan's poem? It’s a lovely piece of work and I’m only going to talk about the last lines.
Please read the entire poem yourself. He uses this cool metaphor, comparing the sun's radiance to a lion's majestic mane. I mean, how awesome is that? It instantly grabs your attention and gives off this powerful vibe.
And then he talks about how the sun "holds this moment together." It's like he's saying that the sun is the glue that keeps everything in balance. Pretty deep, right?
But what really got me is when he mentions the "turbulence of joy above and the love below." It's like he's saying that both joy and love are in this constant state of movement and excitement. It adds this burst of energy to the whole poem.
And let's not forget about those purple waves breathing in the wash of umber-orange. Can you picture it? It's like this vivid, colorful scene that comes to life in your mind. It's so mesmerizing!
And you know what? Jonathan ends it with "everything and everyone." It's like he's saying that the magic and beauty of this moment extend beyond what he's described. It's all-encompassing, embracing everything in existence.
Beautiful!
Thank you, Alicia
I love the colors described the sky, they provide dimensions to the poem while the lion’s mane gives it texture.
Thank you, Stan

"reminds me of a time I tried
my hand at monastic life.
But the climax of the sun
risen there I now anoint. "
yes! thank you
