~seeing the sun another day~

mine eyes opened this morning to a gold and crimson sun

rising on the horizon whilst the silhouette of a hawk was

soaring by, t'was cast upon the canvas of this glorious delight

i do so welcome this new day, for yesterday my spirit was

flailing about in a darken space, as my body t'was now

trudging with debilitating pain from my years passed

the pillar of my strength had been slowly chipped away

while struggling with how to rid this excruciating pain and

battling thoughts running antithetical to 'life'

knowing this, the love of my life stood in front of me, her

eyes looked into mine and said ‘i need you, we need you

here with us’, and for a moment my pain went away

so when mine eyes opened this morning, and the thought

entered my mind ‘…if tomorrow never comes, will my love

have been enough for the ones i left behind?

in recalling this sad, the pain, when a loved one in my past

had left me with an empty space, and i do not wish this for

my loves, so here i am today
