Dear Golden Yellow sunshine

I love your vibrant color,
your intricate edges,
your beautifully patterned center,
 your gentle dark smudge,
and the clear bubbles of rain resting on your petals.

I am amazed at the large number of petals 
in your family circle
 and the deep green leaves
 that provide a backdrop for you. 

You remind me, that the stem, that holds you up
and supports you, is not even visible!!

You truly reflect, golden yellow sunshine,
gently holding your sister rain drops
as you share the fullness of YOU.
 YOU bring joy and delight 
and I thank you.

You have intrigued me, with the reminder 
that stem...your basic and key support, 
is predominantly hidden.
How many supportive and vital family members 
 often remain predominantly hidden?
Hidden, because I choose not to see?
or 
Hidden because I am not aware?

ENERGY OF LOVE ..SOURCE..MYSTERY.. CREATOR...ALL THAT IS
is in one sense, predominantly hidden.
and yet in another 
IS MADE VISIBLE  IN ALL THAT IS!!

How AWESOME AND WONDERFUL!!

Thank you Golden Sunshine
for sharing your beauty
and opening my eyes
to being more attentive
 to 
 the hidden and vital life supports I take for granted
or do not even consider.
