Sun's Golden Arc
Dedicated to I. D. Rudinsky
Sun's golden arc Hot like a red coal, Sent down its spark And it warmed my soul; Although, I am not sure Now, I hope that I could Expect from my future To bring something good; The warmth brought me back To life, the light illuminated me I forgot the past, all that I lack And all that is lacking in me. Warmed by the Light My blood caught fire, My soul shined, alight My spirit was inspired. I feel restored by the ray, My heart still beats stronger, These good feelings are here to stay Even when the sun shines no longer; On the trip I am forced to make Love goes with me from the start. It banishes anguish, fear and ache And it gives freedom to my heart.
