I thought I saw the sun today
A tiny glimpse, a solitary ray.
A silvery glimmer upon the pond
A twinkle through the bracken fronds
A lighter green in the valley below
A sheen on the branch that comes and goes
The brightening promise beyond the cloud
Elusive and shifting, a heavenly shroud
A shimmer and ripple that tantalises
Then disappears as the water rises
A solitary leaf that catches the light
The summer hiding in plain sight
The glint and glitter through skeleton trees
Then carried away on the winter breeze
A rabbits tail disappearing from view
Gracing the eye with a whiter hue
I think I saw the sun today
A chink in the armour of winter's grey
A ray of hope, maybe nature's way,
Of reminding us all that winter won't stay
