Sunbeams

Bask in the wonder
Absorb the harmony
Realize the dream.

I'll always be here
So close
So far.

I'll never be yours
Evading
Hiding.

Dancing from your fingertips.
Twirling from your heart.
Slipping from your love.

A whisper.

A fantasy.

A dream.

Never truly leaving.

Never truly arriving.

A shadow on your heart

Forever.

I'll be your
Irreplaceable
Irrevocable
Irresponsible

Dancing sunbeam.

Author notes

Eh, this is OK. Not my best, not my worst.

Once again, it's a bit hard to see how my inpiration came from the photo...but it did.
Really.

Pure
The brightness of the page itself immediately caught my attention; not in a bad way at all.

This piece is very interesting, very light to read. It's simple, but also very meaningful.

"I'll be your
Irreplaceable
Irrevocable
Irresponsible

Dancing sunbeam."

The last line and the build up to said line really sucked me into the poem. Freeverse isn't always my favorite, but this piece is excellent.

Thank you for entering my contest!
