The sun is a major player in this poem welcoming the new season. In describing a religion of the earth, D.H.Lawrence wrote, START WITH THE SUN AND EVERYTHING ELSE WILL FOLLOW. You're probably not starting a religion but still invoking the sun seems to galvanize your voice at the end of the poem, I visualized you asctually dancing during the last ten lines or so. But also in the first stanza you have the sun singing to EVEN THE SMALLEST DREAM. I liked that - it shows the energy is in the season and that means the dreams will get bigger as more sun shines perhaps in June. But in truth it's really your shining that creates these moods within and without and your perception that animates these experiences.

While possibly toned with a hint of abandon, this evocative poem brought to mind the oft-quoted verse by William Blake, Auguries of Innocence. To see a World in a grain of sand, And a Heaven in a wild flower, Hold Infinity in the palm of your hand, And Eternity in an hour.
