Sunlight Reflection
The sky lightens even
though the sun is
not visible to the eye.
I marvel at its power to
make its presence known.
Though its rays cannot be
felt through the clouds,
they have the power to burn
through flesh, clear to the bone
much like memories
that consume the now moment
and expropriate the future.
though the sun is
not visible to the eye.
I marvel at its power to
make its presence known.
Though its rays cannot be
felt through the clouds,
they have the power to burn
through flesh, clear to the bone
much like memories
that consume the now moment
and expropriate the future.

Thank you for your kind words. I am truly pleased that you enjoyed my reflection. What does it matter if a poet writes but nobody reads nor finds meaning?
Hi, caroljoyce,
I didn't want to use appropriate ("take possession of") because that word would put the emphasis on the one taking; so, I chose expropriate for its "to dispossess (a person) of ownership" meaning.
I am glad that you like my verse. Thank you for your comments and shared word enjoyment.
I do love some of the resurrected gems....Niah
Thank you for taking the time to read my earlier post. Your comments on my poem are a welcomed find after a long day at work. I am pleased that you both liked it. On this cold winter's night, I feel the warm rays of your words.
