Early morning sun
A welcome guest
Too short when it comes
A light-fest
Rising become easy
Like a lover’s kiss
She wakes me
I rise for this
The joy it brings
It warms the heart
Smiles abound
Great way to start
Days filled with laughter
And wonderment
Life enriching
Life’s compliment
Slowly
She begins to fade
Less time for me
I grow afraid
Darkness comes
No rising light
Taking over
The coming plight
Dreams of her
Will keep me going
Her every word
Bright and showing
Be the light
For others to see
Chase the black
Out to sea
Peace and love
Triumph always
Battle charge
Opens pathways
A swift return
This I pray for
A hope that’s full
A dream I care for
Rising sun
Come back to me
I miss you so
Don’t let me bleed
Your light fills
Every essence
Without you
Life lacks presence
Opening eyes
I see your rising
All is right
Blinding and uncompromising
