Sunburst
The great big
Hallelujah of the sun
Bursting out into song
Over rooftops and trees
Gives me energy.
Even the melody of the setting sun
In the city a couple of weeks ago
Sang a beautiful tune.

Golden bowl
A magical May sunset
Dazzles,
Embracing water and duck
In glitter,
And the golden bowl of the sun
Is caught in a fiery net of trees.

Chasing the light
The skies over the past few weeks have been grey —
So I’ve been chasing down the light.
I found it framed in golden fog
Hanging over the lake;
It danced over the football field
On fairy rainbow feet.
And, there – at last –
Like a cold winter flower
It blossomed in rays of light.

A bench in the sun
As the sun sets in a blaze of glory,
There is no better place to watch the play
Of cloud and light
Than on a bench in the setting sun.

Sun star
When the sun shines
And twinkles like the star it is…
That can only mean one thing:
The ice has melted
And the lake is now a golden bowl of water.

Golden moments
A boatful of gold
There is something special about the early autumn light:
A clarity that turns spider webs into pearls,
And leafy loveliness into stained glass windows.
It takes the first leaves of autumn
And turns them into amber beauty
And just before the sun sets
It fills the boats with liquid gold.

Lighting the way
Even after all this time,
The sun never says to the earth,
You owe me.
Look what happens with
A love like that.
It lights the whole sky.
~ Hafiz of Persia
A luminous heaven, summer perfection, serenity at sunset.
Moments like these take my breath away.

Swimming into the sunset
What better way to celebrate the long light evenings of a Swedish summer
Than enjoying the sunset
And then diving into the broken yolk
Of the golden sun – at ten o’clock in the evening?

Golden motes of light
Sometimes
When the light is just right
And the shadows weave a tapestry with the sun —
If you take the time to look closely and marvel
Even the humblest sight – like a cloud of midges –
Can become a magnificent and beautiful cloud of gold dust
Reminding us that we all have hidden depths and beauty within.
A cloud of midges glowing in the sunset
