By Chance or Appointment - 30. September Sun

I hope it's not too late to post this.  It is never too late for anything you post

Mmm...reminds me of today. It was so cold as we walked in the shade, but the fall sun still warmed us. The sun is always a welcome visitor.

Wistfully saying "Thank you and See you again" to the fading sunlight but strong hope in the future return.  Beautifully done!

As the leaves fall, and the trees bare themselves before the coming cold, I can only hope and trust that spring will return, and that I might be there to witness it again. Thanks very much for reading!

It was cold here, too. But when the clouds parted to let in the sun, I stood in the warmth, soaking it in, and committing it to memory. The sun won’t forget to return in spring, but I hope my spirit remembers it when it does. Thanks very much for reading!

This has the feeling of a prayer in its cadence and words. Superb. I too speak my thanks to the sun many times throughout the year, whether the sudden and powerful sun of spring, the energy stealing one of summer, the comforting one of fall, or the shy sun of winter. There is naught like warmth on an upturned face.   Cheers!

You have given the sun four characters, four personalities, which deserve a poem in themselves. I guess this prayer is a plea for a promise, in the way a child begs a beloved grandfather to promise to return. Many thanks for reading! 

A perfect reminder of sunshine, especially on a cold wet and windy Wednesday morning.

Your poems are so lyric and calm. Nature is endless inspiration, and you show the Nature in all her glory through your verses. 

I like poetry but reading it might be a challenge for someone whose native language is not English. It cannot be a fast read for sure.

I hope this distillation of September’s sun will come back to you in February, when winter seems endless. Thanks so much for reading!

I hope that this poem is worth the effort to read and de-code. Nature is unquestionably inspirational in any season, yet it has been especially so lately. Thanks so much for your thoughts.
