Step into the sunshine.
The morning light attenuates the mist;
The gloom of night summarily dismissed
By blessed sight, each corner will be kissed.
Step into the sunshine -
It comes not long behind the drying rain;
The thrush's song upon the weather vane
Will right each wrong, and heartbuds bloom again.
Step into the sunshine.
Where doubts have been now lies the surest fate,
A golden mean where once no line was straight;
There comes a queen, a consort and a mate.
Step into the sunshine.
A greener bough is leaping into life
To disavow the winter's bitter strife,
And shows you how a friend becomes a wife.
Step into the sunshine.
Now you shall sing and counterpoint the thrush,
Your heart take wing and balance on the hush
Of birthing spring - and joy come at a rush!
Step into the sunshine.

Mairi bheag, This poem is so clean and lean, without a single ounce of fat on it, and I greatly admire the life-afirming spirit behind it. Excellent!

Many thanks for your generous appreciation, buddy.

your word choice is truly impeccable and the images flow fast and smooth. the method is gently nudged in by the masterful repetition of the catch line. brilliant write.

Your song I think
is pretty and pink
so this Pixie winks
kisses a smoosh blinks.
