    Hail to the Sun!

    Hail the Sun! I raise my cup of coffee high, an early toast to things I spy. The atmospheric river spent, torrential rains have come and went. There's no more need to wail and whine I'm getting drunk on sunrise shine The orb appears with great pizzazz a welcome treat, I hum smooth jazz to wake my day with cheeky joy and hope the weather won't be coy. May a warmer, dryer, week be mine, I'm getting drunk on sunrise shine. Judi Van Gorder Verse Form: A Stave, a Scottish drinking song.

Bottoms Up! by Barbara Hartman Hail to the Sun by Judi Van Gorder 3-23-23 Here's to innocent birds that sing while winter trickles into spring, to robins, meadowlarks and wrens, to cocks that crow and cackling hens, to crows that caw and hawks that scream, to all who wake me from a dream. Here's to long days and shorter nights, to late sunsets' lingering light, to desert varnished canyon walls, to rainbow tinted waterfalls, to moonlit clouds and stars that gleam, to light that wakes me from a dream. Here's to the scent of cedar smoke, wet sheep corrals, red dust that chokes, to rain-soaked sage and pungent weeds, drifting pollen from windblown seeds. Let's drink to love, life's constant stream, the love that wakes me from my dream.
