I Can Feel the Sun

The sun is finally out, and this time I can feel it

As it’s rays warm my barren skin, hope arises within me once again

Formerly, this would frighten me because once the sun went to sleep

My soul would turn as dark as the sky

But now I know, even if the stars don’t shine for light

I will be at peace

I am all I need

The trees may allow shade from the sun’s luminosity

But I will no longer grieve

For I have my own heat

So, as the sun sets, and the coldness settles in

I will not

Let the night’s demons

Be my friend
