A Sun's Stage

Sun did you warm her face
Sun did she pray silently
for to be absent of the body
is to be present with the Lord
What illness of led her
astray from life's compromise
Bargaining 
Sidewalk waiting in a wheelchair
Neck positioned back
Mouth opened
had she gasped for air
one last breath and no one there
Sun you were her daylight
Was she wanting and waiting
for someone
Sun you were her friend
Your rays and beams
Her skin not ashen, 
the paleness is seen
As is rigor mortis and the
color of her  brown semi wavy 
hair has set in
No struggle of self fighting
because of her resting elbows
to hands on the armchair
Sun your radiance provided
ascension to the gates of God's glory
Her red blouse Valentine's Day
Red a color in Chinese culture
fortune and prosperity
Sun you are the gold her mind
may have imaged as she faded away
Into your hands Lord she is free






Spring into Summer 

Sunburst spiderweb 
Signed shadow sidewalk showing 
Succinct success seen

Sidewalk shaped sightings
Spring into summer lights leave
Strong seasons shadow

Sun The sun barks our neighbors awake. It scares away the terrified hissing fog then keeps barking  and will not stop.
