And then the girl in the pink sundress said,

I swear when that big beautiful sun came out...
I simply swooned!
Ohh, I just stared at it, with my eyes wide open...
like I was lookin' at some ol' ghost of a Saturday night seashore memory
I shrugged off my sweater,
tilted my head and whispered to the sky...
Are you for real?
And will you stay for a while and sit by my side?"

Peace ~ Rene

    I like those memories, and the moon is what often makes me whisper to the sky. :)

    the moon would have made much more sense in this passage...but it was the sun ( and a lack thereof) that inspired this. One morning I watched the sun burn through the overcast...it looked almost ghostly, It was so perfect, clear and circular. I could view it without having to look away...but it was just for a moment.

    To tilt a pale face to be kissed by the sun.

    I'm freckling as we speak.

    Come on, Summer!!!

    Thanks for the bit of sunshine on a rainy day :) Amazing what we find we have when we don't think we have much. And to think we're taught NOT to look at the sun... shame!
