Warmth runs over me, pure joy
As sunshine quickens
Memories alive, vivid
Sunbathing in serenity
Eyes tight, unabashedly smiling
Face glowing and flushed
Skin tingling at sun’s touch
Soul erupting in song
My chair and deck
Morph into sandy shores
Rejuvenating needed
In the shortening days
A sigh escapes me
In blissful peace
Wrapped in glowing rays
Kissed by the sun
Darkness and gloom
May be threatening
Coming to invade my peace
Certainly soon
Sunbathing serenity
Lock it away
Retrieve as needed
On a cold winter day
Applause. An excellent presentation of the pleasure of now... sunbathing... and the knowledge, acknowledgement of coming change... heightening the pleasure of the moment.
