Each Day
Each day …
Dear sun, I pity you
You unfortunate soul
Each day coveted anew
A prayer, a thank you, a stroll,
How do you love from afar?
How can you, when you’re busy
Paving paths, and lighting halls?
It’s mutual that you miss me,
I’ve seen you in withdrawal
Mad enough to sidebar
And tell the storming clouds
To roll on in, and stay
For a while, and enshroud
Me, block me from your rays
Is that really who you are?
Spoiling me a moment,
Outside those tearful squalls
that fell without notice
no recompense my dear ball
You light bearing vanguard
Marred by your existence
To tide amidst the stars
And live unrequited love
Hence you are who you are
Lost to midnights and memoirs.

Deep thoughts of one in the midst of anger, sorrow and frustration? That is how I felt it. Very well penned, Paul.
Sad for the sun which does not know the meaning of love, by our standards, and frustrated at the times when we need the sun to shine and it is hidden behind a rainstorm. You were correct Phyllis. Thank you so much for your thoughts, i do appreciate them so.
Nice perspective and well penned and evocative. The truth is the sun always shine, just as brilliant as it has every been; its just at times, clouds can get in the way. Lovely peace, very much enjoyed Paul.
True. Sometimes it seems to go into hiding at the worst possible times. Thank you so much for your kind words my friend
We all need the sun to survive and often miss it when it hides behind a cloud or on a rainy day but we complain when it is too hot and scorching. Poor sun knows no love. Good work, Paul.
Exactly. It just seems to go into hiding always when you need it to be shining in the sky. Thank you so much for your kind words John.
What an interesting thought You felt to write about, I hear a soft plea, adoration and empathy to an deity, it’s like You exist because she exists, well done Paul, Your kind and gentle sides are flowering here.
