like a sunflower who looks up at the morning sun
my spirit also rises to praise that i woke up today
and i shall walk amidst the daisies and the trees
holding hands with my partner, i shall kiss her on
her cheek and whisper in her ear, ‘without you,
the joy i feel today would go unfulfilled, my life
incomplete
life be not naïve, for death in a second will
usurp your presence if it can while awaiting
in the dark, watching to see if your light is
dimming or by chance, if in an instant, it
is switched off
life, take not for granted this gift bestowed,
embrace its wonder, twirl it in a dance and if
by happenstance there is another, who love’s
your spirit, take her or him by the hand and
twirl them in your dance
in between the sun and the moon,
the light of day and the noir of night
stars glitter with dreams
in between the dark and the light
is the still and quiet of space where
calm and peace reside
in between the azure sky and the
ocean blue is a horizon where the day
rests and begins
in between sadness and happiness is
joy, in between hate and empathy
is love
