My Shining Sun

Sometimes love is 

so hot and high ,

like the sun 

that beats down 

from a summer sky ,

your thirst for it 

can never be quenched 

no matter 

how hard you try 

 

You know there's 

no turning back 

once it's begun ,

like the falling 

of raindrops 

or the rising of 

the sun 

 

Everyday is beautiful 

and new ,

for your love 

that's inside 

of you 

 

But alas as 

time went by ,

it was another 

not I 

that caught 

her eye 

 

Sometimes even the 

hottest fire 

can burn cold ,

for a heart that's full 

but it's someone else's fuel 

it can have and hold 

 

Today I sat by 

our little stream 

and watched it run ,

but there was no sparkle 

in it for me 

without my shining sun 

 

Seems like my heart 

has always  been 

an open door ,

so many love's 

have walked in and out 

before
