To the Sun

 

A piece is gone—

I have within me a heaviness

That pulls at me from the very depths of my being

I yearn to find the piece

Of which I lack so that once again

I might be whole.

I search my mind, my heart, my soul, my world

For a tiny glimpse

A clue that would lead me to the love that is amiss;

Thrown off course

By the winds of time.

 

I seek the Sun

The light whose glowing does no fade

Not with time

Not with age

Not with the reading

Of these words upon this page.

 

My Sun shines

And though I cannot see her

I hold her in my heart

The depths of my soul cling to the shimmering warmth of her eyes

The passionate raging calm when we kiss

The constancy of the touch of her skin

The comfort of her safe within my arms

I hold her close.

 

We are one—

The Sun and the Moon

The contradiction looms

It seems so strange two opposites should collide

But it is right—

The difference is none.

For she is the Sun that brightened my darkest day

The one that is my half to make me whole

The piece of which I yearn

To fill the longing of my love

For the one—

To the Sun.
