You Are My Sunshine: DAES

DAES

Drawn to Lonely Love's Duet,

Aparted from the Melody true,

Expressions I can not forget,

So I now begin Anew.

A poem I wrote while waiting for Sunday school. Like most poetry, there are many applicable meanings behind the passage. Ultimately it is about making a risky decision based on intuitive insights. I have titled it DAES, based on the first letter of every stanza. Though it is no masterpiece, it flows rather nicely, doesn't it?

Poems

I will not play at tug o' war,
I'd rather play at hug o' war.
Where everyone hugs instead of tugs,
Where everyone giggles and rolls on the rugs.
Where everyone kisses and everyone grins,
And everyone cuddles and everyone wins.
-Shel Silverstein

"Hope" is the thing with feathers—
That perches in the soul—
And sings the tune without the words—
And never stops—at all—

And sweetest—in the Gale—is heard—
And sore must be the storm—
That could abash the little Bird
That kept so many warm—

I've heard it in the chillest land—
And on the strangest Sea—
Yet, never, in Extremity,
It asked a crumb—of Me.

-Emily Dickinson
