Something pretty,
but not exactly bright.
Something dim,
among all the lights.
Something catchy,
if only you learned
to stop looking for things
you would only squint at.
Something worthy,
of all the time
you've neglected to set aside
just because you thought that rushing
wouldn't leave you behind.

I am sun and you are moon.
Caressing countlessly
Cranes and Starlings swoon
With love effortlessly.

I paint the daybreak flawless
with color sinking in
Moon is gathering the waves
while Mantas sink and swim.

You wrap yourself in darkness
with holes and craters deep,
Orbiting a world that has you
shackled at your feet.

I can see it spinning, with
everything it holds.
And I'm afraid that one dark day,
it might just steal your soul.

I can't control your presence
parading atmosphere,
And must not always worry
That the waves will disappear.

Nor reminisce on memories
so many "moons" ago,
That orbit other planets,
of which we'll never know.

And maybe all this warmth
inside my soul so bright,
is overtaking judgment
and misjudging moon at night.

The heat within me rising
might be unwarranted.
So I will just shine brighter
and make flowers bloom instead.

When I was younger,
my mother would sing
you are my sunshine,
and I knew she loved me.

When I was older,
my pap whistled to my gram
I've got sunshine on a cloudy day,
and I knew he loved her.

Now I'm grown,
and I tell you every morning
I'm a ray of sunshine,
hoping that maybe you'll love me, too.

I see the trees, the birds and the flowers,
Their beauty through the summer showers,
The colours the shades , the warmth the haze,
Seem to all go on for days,

I hear the water down the window,
And the wind as people go,
I notice the animals small and fragile,
I wonder if I was welcome for awhile,

I feel the peace, the calm and the quiet,
The tranquility of the nature surrounding me,
is not something everyone can see,
I mean, they walk by looking at the sky?
Surely they notice the birds and bees who fly?
For me it's different, I feel, see, hear and wonder about the nature around me ,
the experience for others and how ignorant they must be,
to just not stop for awhile & take a seat in nature right beside me.
