You are the sunrise<\/p>\n
Radiant heat bringing warmth so bright<\/p>\n
Never scorching the hide of young girls, who run barefooted on the earth<\/p>\n
To rest upon antiquity while basking in the light<\/p>\n

Protecting the riddles that drive children to search for independence<\/p>\n
To explore things bigger than themselves, fearlessly, boldly, with abandon<\/p>\n

Precious drops in which to dance, to twirl, to leap alive<\/span><\/p>\n Filling full the aquifers of young minds that ponder love and loss<\/p>\n That they may bloom and stretch their roots for a firmer hold<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n by Karen Sullivan<\/p>\n Form: Lyric<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" You are the sunrise Radiant heat bringing warmth so bright Never scorching the hide of young girls, who run barefooted on the earth To rest upon antiquity while basking in the light You are a cool, mysterious poneglyph Holding the wisdom of the ages…<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":681,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[7],"tags":[816],"class_list":["post-10960","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-marathon-poem","tag-poetrymarathon2015-karensullivan-lyric-verseofbarbara-remember"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/thepoetrymarathon.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/10960","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/thepoetrymarathon.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/thepoetrymarathon.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/thepoetrymarathon.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/681"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/thepoetrymarathon.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=10960"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/thepoetrymarathon.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/10960\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":11261,"href":"https:\/\/thepoetrymarathon.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/10960\/revisions\/11261"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/thepoetrymarathon.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=10960"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/thepoetrymarathon.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=10960"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/thepoetrymarathon.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=10960"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
