One Day

I had forgotten the radiance

I gave the sun

And how it rose

To warm and greet me.

Seeking sameness

Deep inside

It tried again

each day

So resolute

Each day it found

Another facet of my absence

Still, each day

The sun did not forget

That in my skin it found its meaning

And there was hope for rising yet

The more I spent my days in slumber

The more I fell away from me

The more I fed and grew my sadness

The more he shone

And steadily

As every soul does have an equal

As certain deep calls unto deep

Each day the sun would seek its likeness

Its light reflected back through me

And though my heart was lost and withered

Its pace and beat still spoke of life

And one day

light would heal and wake me

This love would

One day...

Get me through the night.
