Headstall's Reflections - 12. Chapter 12 Poetry prompt 15- Ode to Ra

A beautiful prayer. Amen

Gary, I really love this poem. It captures the meaning of a sunrise, literally and figuratively, so beautifully and the use of Egyptian gods to illustrate this was a great touch, it became, like AC pointed out, a wonderful prayer.

PS: Thanks to AC, I couldn't resist making a pun; ...in the name of Ra, Amun.

This is a wonderful poem. The warmth of the sun, of Ra, likened to your lover. How incredibly apt. There is the joy and the delight when either returns from a long absence, and the despair when you know they will be gone. Perfectly matched. Thank you for this!

Super Gary. I could use some sun, things hurts so much i wonder if the sun would help. I think we've alway loved the sun and what it can offer to us, and how it makes us feel.
Great job, Gary!!

A simple comfort to sit with your face turned to the sun ...

Wow Gary! That was simply amazingly done. Beautiful. 'Brings to mind my lover'. Love what you did there through the poem..
Great job!

This makes me want to lie out on the grass or the dock at the cottage and feel the sun warm me to my bones. It may not cure, but it does soothe. It was a beautiful ode to a god that brings light into our lives.

Maybe the Egyptians had it right when the worshiped the sun. It is the giver of life. I'm sorry you're still hurting, tim. Thanks for the great review... cheers... Gary...

The sun and its's bright shining does make things better, doesn't it?

As always, nicely done.

Thanks, Reader. We have to take our comfort where we find it. While I love the rain, there is nothing like the sun on your face, particularly after a few days of its absence. I appreciate the review, my friend... cheers... Gary...

Some of my best memories involved doing just that. I loved the hot smell of the dock wood beneath me. Temporary respites are sometimes all that's needed and the sun gives us that... thank you, my friend... cheers... Gary...

Beautiful sexy poem... Sunshine is promised for tomorrow
