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.

- Comment from author about the poem: A message of once being in the now, and the world putting its feigns in to drag you sufferingly into the darkness, a sense of hoping to reach the feeling of the sun again. Enjoy loves :)

The sun... giver of all life... when it doesn't burn... or scorch.
However... a bit of night is necessary.
And I'm not saying complete darkness... no.
But without... the night...
Difficult to sleep... or dream.
Anyway... good poem.
Sorry... for commenting.
Hope you don't mind.
