Take a Little Sunshine, of Mine
-Plato, Lysis
Caressing your heart
With my thoughts
Colliding with the memory
Allowing it to drift
Far and away
On the shoulders of desire
Crossing the line
Made in the sand
Playing my cards, one at a time
Until there are none left and the day is done
Let me dance in the sun, today. Oh, the thrill of spring in the heart! I am certain my soul is in bloom.
And just like that, these musings are done. I want to thank you for strolling along with me through the musings of my mind. Some days, I just let it out to play for a while. Have a fabulous day! Don't forget to take your sunshine with you!
I always post this poem down at the bottom of my posts. It is one that has become so near and dear to my heart. I only post the most famous part of it, but, wanted to post it in its entirety today.
i cried the way women on tv do
folding at the middle
like a five pound note.
i called the boy who use to love me
tried to ‘okay’ my voice
i said hello
he said warsan, what’s wrong, what’s happened?
and these are what my prayers look like;
dear god
i come from two countries
one is thirsty
the other is on fire
both need water.
i held an atlas in my lap
ran my fingers across the whole world
and whispered,
"where does it hurt?"
it answered,
"everywhere"
"everywhere"
Great words and images.
“Playing my cards, one at a time
Until there are none left and the day is done”
That is all we can really do. Makes it a little simpler and less daunting when you know we already have the cards in our hands and just need to play them the right way to have a great day in a world filled with wonder.

Thank you for your always positive comments on my posts. You are truly a builder. You build people up and raise awareness. So very cool, @zekepickleman.
You are truly right. We can only play what we have, but, just like a gambler, choose them carefully. This is truly a world of wonder. Mine is filled with rainbows and unicorns and other sundry stuff.
!tipStill out of money, honey... the bank run is slow. Be back in two shakes.
Oh yes the flowers are lovely, but WOW! No one can burn up the page quite like you!! Every single line is just wow! I personally feel lines are there to be crossed, makes life worth living. Truly nothing short of a scorcher!!! Well done, Sunshine!
Well, isn't that the best compliment ever? Thank you, but, honestly, you give me far too much credit here. Lines are there to be crossed.
I will have to think about that one for a moment or three.
But, in the meantime, I will leave you with a great big thank you for stopping and spreading the sunshine. It is much appreciated.
!tipOut of money, honey! I'll run to the bank and catch you later. Remind me.... As if.

I am doing well and headed off on vacation in a few days. I may post one or two things but, will mostly be taking in the sea and salt, not wanting to come back. LOL Isn't that the way of vacation? Thanks. El, and hope all is well in your world.

Truly! I agree with you and we shall stay positive!
Thank you and have a great night!
Be the poetry, the photo or vice versa? I do not know if poetry generates pictures or beautiful flowers suggests poetry and philosophy about human condition.
I would have to say that it is different for each person. And there is not one over the other sometimes it's one, sometimes the other and sometimes none at all.
Thanks for taking the time to stop over and say hello.
Have a fabulous Sunday!

With you as a friend there's always "sunshine on a cloudy day"! :) Though we've got plenty of sunshine today on a hot day, I enjoy seeing it on here, as well! Beautiful flower photos will never wilt or go bad. Hope you are enjoying your weekend Denise!
Oh, you are the sweetest thing ever!!! Hotlanta is getting a little bit humid right about now! Oh, yes! The redeeming photo factor!
I am so enjoying this weekend, I will be off on vacation next weekend! Woop! Woop! This girl just needs a good rest! :)

Oh I so need to plan a little vacation! Some other things have gotten in the way, but hoping we can at least get a quick weekend away sometime this year. Where are you headed this round so I can live vicariously? ;)
