Unexpected Sun

Swirls of winter grey
blur to a radiant gold-
a lush vibrant glow.

Over-achieving,
An anomalous sun smiles
its odd enthusiasm.

I do not entreat-
Don’t pray for more or longer,
But I simply bask.

The surprise of warmth,
from such daunting chill-blown skies,
Is too great a gift

In any increment.
