I got the Sun

A story through the images... uniting poetry and photography.

...It all started on a sunny day of 24 August 2008... The day was perfect, I was basking in the sun at the late afternoon, absorbing the sun and playing with its rays... On a moment when I did a occasional pass  with my hand, the light sparkled and magic began...

I got the Sun

First I got a tiny light…
I cherished him just so
I got the Sun! We played till night!
And then I let him go…

So on next dawn, we played again
And every morn since then
Our favorite game is “hide and seek”
“I tag you”, “You are it”

“I tag you”
“I tag you”

“You are it”
“You are it”

This is really such a special series, and showcases your unique talent wonderfully. Each photo works so perfectly with your sweet poetic words. I love the format here on your blog, and can feel the joyful playfulness once again.
I remember when this unfolded two years ago, and am thankful too, for our wonderful friendship which was connected to this special time.
Happy anniversary my dear. You are a very special friend <3
