i used to walk in the sun
if that\'s what it was
i used to feel it
burning
on my skin
the small squint in my eyes to look up to it
so real, as if i could touch it
the heat
the feeling
all encompassing
enamoring really
...
i used to walk in the sun
but as the sun does so beautifully
it abandons us, slowly but surely
the darkness it never fails to come
like a clock ticking away
...
now i walk in the darkness
it\'s quiet here
it\'s cold
it\'s unforgiving
as if under the Alaskan sky
where all days and nights turn to black
that is where i walk
i sit and wait
almost in awe
waiting for the sun to rise
like a clock ticking away
for i will walk in the sun again.
