waiting for the sun to appear
is a lonely task
I fall asleep before I see it’s rays
when I awake, I have slept through it’s golden beauty
the sun is absent from my life
though many others have seen it
I alone am still waiting for the sun

I have not yet seen the sun
in this, the new year
it must be out there
I have to believe
I have to keep going
left here quietly
waiting for the sun
