Resurgence

Resurgence

Harsh darkness brews the light of day,
While songs whisk on silly
Sounds of joyous play.
High above the light begins
First it breaks the horizon,
And then it gives a sweet grin.
From the delight of a watering hose
Flowers dance from a morning shower.
This day of summer is no longer cold
Midday heat can be a powerful hour.
The dryness of the Arizona Sun
Can strike you down,
Rob you of your daily power.
But the sunrays won’t break you
For your strength of spirit is renowned.
