Soft sun , wishing

Caring dove


Notice of absence from Caring dove
It seems you have no interest in unblocking me being honest being truthful .. so , take care

Here is the soft sun sitting in the blue 

sitting in a circle , sometimes comfortable 

tho she has no ladder to allow her to walk away to the grass 

and rest , if she wishes 

by the friendly flowers 

just there , floating 

a soft stable strong light 

used to the yellow hue 

used to the blues 

even the sometimes grey clouds 

But sometimes there’s a wish for feet to be found 

for a ladder to help her Walk  to the grass 


still the sun 

yet different somehow 

the soft sun with feet 

the soft sun with a ladder 

allowing her to move away if she wishes 

to touch the grass 

that she always sees 

but never feels 

to rest by flowers that live below her 

 

maybe the sun is soft , steady , strong even 

but tired sometimes 

a light for the sky 

for the world 

light for others 

with a sometimes a wish to rest in a different place 

because even the sun gets tediously tired sometimes 

wishing for feet 

wishing for a light ladder 

so she can touch the green

    A metaphor for those that give but are unable to feel the gifts they bestow on others. Most lovely

      Thanks for the kind words .. I think even the sun might get tired and wish to be in a different place sometimes . I guess we can all have wishes etc but we don’t always feel able to reach them .. and I guess the sun can’t be on the grass .. without the ability to move there

      Thankyou ))

        You are the most welcome with this sense of animism a most interesting thought

        My dear friend, this is like a tender fable for burnout…how even something as steadfast as the sun might long to step away, to trade constancy for a moment of grounded rest. The “ladder” image works beautifully as a bridge between the unreachable and the touchable, the sky’s work and the earth’s quiet. Gentle, wistful, and relatable in that way that sneaks up on you. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦‍⬛ A fave!

          Poor sun. Although I can relate, perhaps the sun is also suffering from overexploitation. Beautiful writing and development. I enjoyed it very much. Thanks for sharing. Cheers.

            Thankyou very much )) I think maybe sometimes we can feel almost stuck in one place .. wishing to move / be elsewhere but we can’t or feel unable to . I guess we all want to reach other places / experiences sometimes..

            Glad you enjoyed my poem and thanks for the kind words
