For The Sunlight
If not for the sunlight
today would be dark
shadowy earth
shadowy heart
If not for the sunlight
revealing your contours
I could not worship their angles
their curves
and strong landscapes
once so well known
now too far to reach
If not for the sunlight
I would be frozen
in these cold harsh words
that are new, but long known
and be damned my observations
and be damned your waning resolve
for in this darkness
we are naked in the sunlight
and the threat of another night
full of too stark darkness
but with the promise of the sun’s melting rays
to warm us
to melt away the frost
and reveal the tender buds and blades
waiting underneath
to burst forth
and bask again
where they are thankful
for the sunlight
Thank you so much for stopping by and leaving me a note. I will...
