Sunlight
Photography (c) Sarah Myers 2019


A droplet from the fountain of the Sun
Rolled through my window to my floor today;
I saw it melt like molten sugar, run,
And flow together, laughing as it lay.

I touched it, barely, with an outstretched toe;
It climbed my foot, and like a tiny bird
Sat perched with golden feathers all aglow
To sing the sweetest silence.  And I heard.
