Thou Art The Sun

source

I scoop the sun from the dark night

And hang it over my drenched soul

Each drop of tears turns into light

As I scoop the sun from the night

Icy crust of fear loses might

The broken vessel becomes whole

As I scoop the sun from the night

And hang it over my drenched soul

  1. Sumana, this is the most beautiful poem ever. The image is perfect too. It is true, pain might be the single greatest source of enlightenment.....it hones and hollows us, until we shine. I especially love "each drop of tears turns into light." Exactly.

  2. Bless you, dear Sumana. You put great emotions and learnings into small spaces by scooping to hang like laundry, saetting aside to dry like a clay pot ... and here I too find light, here I too become whole. This form allows a salve "to form." Thank you!

  8. That innermost sense within us tells us that with the sun all things are possible as it is not only the generator of our lives but the motivator for all that we can do.

  13. You are definitely a poet's delight, Sumana! :))))) The poem is emotionally rich..and as it progresses, the thought does not merely "rise" but orbits away from the dark. Life is symbolized with a battle which means we have to do something to keep us alive. Great piece...:)
