One Day, The Sun Will Rise (An Original Poem)

in poetry •  8 years ago  (edited)


It would do this heart gladly
to see everything melt together
and magically answer
every question in your eyes

but take my word when I say,
one day, the sun will surely rise
and its golden light
will begin to touch you
in some unforeseen ways

you will come to understand
each wish you ever wished
was always granted, just not
in the ways you thought they’d be

like the roots of a mighty oak tree
we must be grounded in this Earth,
the planet of our birth,
and feel the inherent power of its wisdom,
this will heal each and every schism,
rest assured...one day, the sun will rise.

There is such wisdom there. When we step back we see how glorious the bigger picture truly is. Thank you Eric.

I'm glad you enjoyed it! Thank you!

I have always felt the touch of the sun on my bare skin as pure love. This poem makes it that much more understandable.

The sun is so nurturing. I live in the upper Midwest where it's cold 4-5 months out of the year, sometimes I crave the feeling of the sun! Thank you!

I hear you, as I live in the Netherlands, where it's generally cold and rainy. The sun shines around 1400 hrs a year of the 4600 daytime hours. Not much. When it does, I'm in it. :D

I had no idea there were that many cloudy days there in the Netherlands. I grew up in Columbus, OH (US) and it was very similar to that. I think 300 days of the year are cloudy, on average, there.

Cool .gif!

@ericvancewalton
I feel encouragement when I read your poetry! The poem, as I personally interpret it, brings out the fact that even though we don't understand everything that may be happening in life, eventually it will all make sense. Perhaps others read it differently, but that's what I gleaned from this beautifully written piece.

Thank you very much for sharing your talents! Have a splendid day!

Thank you very much! That's exactly what was going through my mind when I wrote it! This lesson, for me, only came with age.

You are welcome! It does seems like wisdom and enlightenment come to us in a greater measure as the years go by.

Sometimes it feels good for the sun to rise and sometimes it feels equally good for the sun to go down. Great poem.

Very true... Duality is the spice of life indeed! Thank you!
