Through the window frame
in the honeyed light of the evening
I see the grass
blossoming with daisies
of pure sunlight.
A chorus of green leaves in my yard
dance
in the warm, celebratory wind
As the sunset comes in its boldest blaze
melts my sorrows
bringing an ear-to-ear smile on my face.
Before I know it
the orange-gold that stretched far and wide
transforms the sky with tiny white dots
as the night smooths colour
into the deepest parts of the ocean
where no light reaches.
I press my hands against the
glass panes in my bedroom
and stare at the
blessed velvet dark of the starry night
where a promise lies
that even when our hearts
yearn for the sun's light
the light of the stars
will always bring the hope of dawn.
