“I desperately want to see the day today and do the best I can not to miss a shred of sunlight. It’ll be over before I know it.” – Mandy Patinkin
“If I had to choose a religion, the sun as the universal giver of life would be my god. – Napoleon Bonaparte
“A leaf fluttered in through the window this morning, as if supported by the rays of the sun, a bird settled on the fire escape, joy in the task of coffee, joy accompanied me as I walked.” – Anais Nin

lumière du soleil
*
playfully
she slips upon me
as I sleep
nudging me awake
filled with laughter
forcing my eyes
open
*
impishly she creeps
into corners
illuminating cobwebs
chasing shadows
yet they disappear
as she moves on
*
like a torch
her beams
warm the forest’s
thickly needled carpet
peeking between branches
and leaves
*
with a silent smirk
in her wake
she ignites starlight
*
Bisous,
Léa
poetry, photos and musings oh my! 
I can see tendrils of sunlight curling up on my arm! Love this poem.
How kind. Thank you.
I love how your poem personifies sunlight. It brought a smile to my face after a day of horrid meetings.
Liz, if you could see me you would see a giant smile plastered across my face and you put it there. Merci beaucoup mon amie.
You’re most welcome, Lea.
Thanks again. Now, can I please send you some of this rain?
