Swirls of golden ribbon
Weaving in, out & around
my hands, my eyes, my heart
Enveloping me in a warm
brilliance like that of the Sun.
A warm light from within me shows
as I touch my hand to yours
You smile & turn to pass it on-
And it in response it grows.
A unity never seen before
we band our hands tightly
Fingers like sunbeams glow
against a midnight-lit society
& sunshine spills like glitter
across a field of daffodils
As we lift our hands together
like that of a new-age dawn.

Your ribbon of sun reminds me of Emily Dickinson’s sun rising “one ribbon at a time.”
Utterly beautiful. penny
