I wonder, not, why heaven and the sun attend such lofty stations midst the skies come any closer, they might be outdone by all that dazzled passion in your eyes tho beaming bright in lieu of their dissent that any earthly creature should outshine their grand intensity - quite heaven-sent they dim when near your radiance, divine I yearn to know the sunlight on my face and all the wonder beautied skies impart still, there is not a warm that can replace the blazing glow that you put in my heart and tho the earth needs all the sun can do there is no deeper need in ME ... than YOU. ~ 1st Place ~ in the "Sunshine Sonnet" Poetry Contest, John Hamilton, Sponsor. ~ 2nd Place ~ in the "End of March 2018 Any Form" Poetry Contest, Brian Strand, Sponsor.
