Sunbeams tickle the deep
and a whole new world
erupts in vivid color
One sweet day
we’ll pass through
shimmering sky
casting off
dark shadows
and lonely soliloquy –
we’ll soar above
saltwater memories
and float on waves
of endless light.
Today, Lillian hosts at dVerse, and asks us to include a title from a song or two in our poems. We can select the songs from #1 hits on our birthday by clicking on this Birthday Hits website. I picked, “A Whole New World” by Peabo Bryson and Regina Belle and “One Sweet Day” by Mariah Carey.
I am also writing this poem as a tribute to my mother-in-law, Linda Sankey, who passed recently from Covid-19. We will all be together again one sweet day! 💓

Thanks, Ingrid! My husband flew out today to be with family, while I’m stuck home with my son sick, some non-covid virus has us sneezing and coughing. I’m doing everything in slow motion today.
Oh dear! Take it easy. Glad it’s not covid 🙏
Yes, we had Caden tested. I’m drinking elderberry syrup and hot tea and going to be zen reading more poems this afternoon!
