Sunlight

Sunlight rises to wipe the

midnight sand out of our eyes.

Sunlight exercises the right to

stereotype the truth within our lies.

Sunlight emphasizes sight despite

being blind to the colors in our skies.

Sunlight recognizes the need for blight

if crops drown beneath waves of cries.

Sunlight crystallizes into bright white stones

to disguise the loud silence of sighs.

Sunlight symbolizes the mite of creatures

who stand to sound the bells despite their size.

Sunlight compromises when darkness fights

to shroud the hot steam of porch-cooled pecan pies.

Sunlight specializes in illuminating lights so all life

can enjoy sleeping beneath dreamscape fireflies.
