Jesus In The Sun


Spied a wayward woman with a crooked, quirky smile.
Singing to herself, spinning dancing all the while.
Knew right away as she swayed through the square,
She might touch my heart, but never stay there.

Came up beside her and offered my name.
Had time to share, did she wanna do the same?
With a ballerina’s turn, into my soul she peered,
Saw how time and circumstance aged my years.
And held out a hand…

Thought I heard her whisper…
Rainbow streams,
Colors of love,
Pastel clouds,
Ivory doves,
Desert quiet,
Blue sky above,
I've seen Jesus,
In the Sun.

Follow if you like, but leave doubts well behind,
Release your fears, if you follow you will find.
Didn’t wait for my answer, she was off with a start.
Skipped through the rain, storms drifting apart.

Searching for something, someone, somewhere.
And when they appear, we’ll know what we have to share.
Lips to mine, knocked my world unsteady,
Gently, she said, In good time you’ll be ready.

Thought I heard her whisper…
Lily petals,
In a meadow lush.
Swirls of genius,
From Monet’s brush.
Sweet first kiss,
With a teen crush,
I've seen Jesus,
In the sun.

Found myself alone at the center of the fair.
Smiling, watching happy faces everywhere.
As one we held hands, danced in blissful elation.
Savoring the lesson of life’s celebration.

Butterfly flutters a curious fawn.
Earthy mist on a summer dawn.
Newborn sleeping at her mama’s cheek.
Midnight moon upon a mountain peak.
Kiss before dying, farewell whispers.
Enraptured lovers, desire simmers.
Silver sparkles on an open sea.
Written words, now and to be.

Beauty is Jesus In the Sun.
Life is Jesus In The Sun.
