In the best times you are like the sun

When you are around you bring me

Warmth, Comfort and Clarity

I thrive

As you remind me that I Am Alive

Forgetting that I have ever once felt deprived

 

But most others to me

Are

Like the Moon

Their light brings joy to my eye

But

They can’t dispel the darkness of night

And

Even when they shine bright and full

I still feel cold, lonely and lacking

 

With you

I have the days of June

Long and Lasting

Warm days

Setting my heart a blaze in the best of ways

Blissfully lost in your cerebral corn maze

Reclining in the tall cool grass under the dusky haze

As the night sets in your summery embrace

Lingers

Well past the midnight hours

Carrying me til I once again bask in your generous glow

 

Deep down I do know

That it can’t always be summer

But

That never stopped me from wishing so…

As nature has its ebbs and flows

Inevitably your summer’s glow too goes…

Away

 

Your distance is like that of the North in December

Where the days are ended abrupt

And the broadened nights are bitingly cold, frigid and unforgiving

In the day you still shine

But

Your days are as cold as night

And

Now all that seem to remain is the moon

Sparingly dispensing light

A fraction

of a faction

of the attention

and the affection

Only now reflecting the weakest version

Of the light-that-I-once-knew

 

Despair makes the minutes feel like hours

And the days feel like months

Grating down my nerves to the nubs

Until I eventually go numb

 

Alone

My heart turns to stone

I barely survive

As light is deprived

 

But deep down I do know

That it won’t always be winter

Because nature has its ebbs and flows

And from deep pain beautiful things do grow

No matter how low

On to hope I do hold

That I will once again bask in your soul’s generous glow
