a spot in the sun

a spot in the sun
where troubles come undone
the face of life heaves a sigh
of welcome relief
an untempered sheath
within which a reprieve
can be found for the war
weary sword of labor
peace in our time
an afternoon mine
from whence gems of tranquility
surface and breach
sands of the beach
a whale upon which all creation
rests for a tide, rushing by
and the great turtle
transporting us all
here is the place
promises come to fruition
potentials converted to kinetic
and there are no longer bounds
to the laws of friction
