I raised my gaze to greet the early morning sky
It was shrouded in a cloak dappled in varying shades of gray
I could taste it, feel it’s presence hanging over me
I understood the interplay of black and white which hung over my world
The light, diffused in the many shades, but light nonetheless
Without the light finding its way through
There would be no gray, only darkness
That became my meditation and solace
As I rode along the black ribbon bordered in crimson
I remembered the rich light in which I had bathed
I ached for the bright light of you
And I felt the dark move to cover me in its blackness
The grey though, came to my aid, reminding me that light was still present
That the sun will indeed shine again
So with effort, casting off darkness’ pull
Focused on the light which had overcome
I feel the tare in me from missing you
My body, my soul rebels against your absence
And the nothing seeks to pull me into its lair
But I shall lift my head and seek the light
And the light is you
And just as another dawn will break bright and fair
So will time and circumstance bring me again into that fair land
Ruled and lit by the brightness shining in your eyes
The laughter flowing from your heart, and the sweetness of your soul
The distance is a terrible thing
But I am not without hope
I sit in this quiet place with you, if only in my heart
And your presence holds the hope of a coming sunrise.
Good morning Sunshine!
