Winter Sun

Garnet engages in a one-sided conversation with our star


So there you are!
You stretch and yawn
And bring the long-awaited dawn
With lazy smile
As if a joke
To greet impatient morning folk
Who’ve been awake
These many hours
With naught for light
But scattered stars.

We’re dreaming of your summer twin
Why wait so long?
Let Spring begin!
Please start our days
With mornings bright
Please bring us warmth
As well as light.
Oh, lovely sun
Increase your glow
Melt days and weeks
As well as snow
We’ll press ‘fast-forward’ till we reach
That summer weekend
At the beach!
