Faithful Sunrise

On Deserving the Light

You climb the trees again, slowly —

I take my knees,

remembering you as the day is long.

Your metallic rays,

g ‎l ‎i ‎s ‎t ‎e ‎n ‎i ‎n ‎g

on the pond's lonely skin, reflecting.

Rowing, rocking —

back and forth.

Sharing glances, shying eyes from bold advances.

Laden heat aches —

burning, unquenchable reaching

when you go back for more.

In my loss today, no remorse —

you've shown me things unseen yesterday,

leaving me to dream of fiery tresses

kissing the beaches' sloping shoulders.

In the morning, will I wake

when you rise, my faithful sunrise?

Will I deserve to dream you again?

Your light recedes, my dark concedes.

Even if years, unkind, unwind

this moment to moment —

tomorrow,

remembering you

as the day is long.
