Sunlight trip

Sunlight Trip

The Macachín flower

Golden and warm, 

the Sun came up today

even though the air's so cold,

its light & comfort

took me back to the childhood fields

of the countryside in my home country.

A soft silence rose up from the earth

soaked with the last rain,

coming up in tears of life and green,

Now like then, the great kiskadee

greets me flying over my head

and I say 'bienteveo'.

It's a time of soul search, 

finding answers to many questions.

The sunlight closes my pupils 

but opens my mind to the insights.

I see the roads taken

I see their textures, the mud and the rocks,

I see the sceneries,

remember walking here and there,

so many walks, so many roads,

and different places. 

The Sun now at the Zenith

shines bright. I see clearer, 

how much love I received,

most of the way.

Rain Lilies

There were thistles and roses with thorns, 

but there were wildflowers and pansies;

though my favorite were macachines 

and rain lilies.

My inner child is happy now,

I can still sing along the childhood songs

that made us dance around

holding hands, in sunny days.

I am happy now...
