O' Dear My Sun

 

By my lens 

A few minutes remain for heaven 

to brighten and dispel the darkness 

shrouding its crystalline dome. 

I sauntered as I looked around

And beholded the beautiful colors

Mingling in the east, heralding the sun's 

Awakening. 

The stillness of the air

Was part of me until the sun shone, 

Painting the sky with a solo color, 

Caressing the ground with its shimmering rays,

Reviving the birds upon the branches,

And stirring humans from their slumber. 

I wondered. What about my sun?

The sun within me, why won't it shine? 

Months passed since I've seen its

Radiant beams.

Its radiant beams

That draw my smile, warm my soul, 

Embrace my body, and ignite my enthusiasm. 

Month after month, 

I've tried to convince it to rise, and dispel

the darkness 

enveloping my bosom, but I failed. 

It stubbornly refuses to rise, 

Yet lingers deep within my heart,

Kindling my desire to feel its love once more. 

O dear, my Sun, don't you know

How much I love you, yet I'm helpless

To live without you? 

O dear, don’t you see 

How slowly I’m growing fond of darkness, 

And the shadows within me? 

And how I've tried to erase you, 

but I couldn't. 

Yet, when I forget you, I know you'll rise

When I lose my appetite for your 

Love and light.
