ray of sunshine

the fruits of her labor

the flavors they steep

as the warmth of her wisdom

melts in the soft heat

golden flowers of meadows

a core sugar sweet

her light could turn snow

into puddles of sleet

her strawberry heart

beats with the bright wind

as I smile and I wave

saying ‘see you again’

...

I looked in your eyes

the very next day

a cave of black darkness

a smile slipped away

a beautiful being

a mind of disarray

you’ve been my sun for so long

that you’ve lost all your rays

but I feel your warmth glistening

under building cold ice

I’ll take in your darkness

no matter the price

and while you’ll rise as the sun

I’ll watch as the moon

as I’ll smile and I’ll say

‘I’ll see you soon’
