Amnesia

Possibly a slightly unreal view of the power of the sun....

                     
     

Night waves
seeping through
my window.

 

Love calls,
but so far away from home.

 

In the stillness
curling flecks of sunlight
fight a losing battle, go to sleep.

 

I'm alone with silent night,
and need to weep.

 

Many leagues away
a joyful sun
lights up the day.

People smile
and giggle in the open,
laughing,
gay.

 

Then the night comes,
and they too are sleeping -
Say goodbye to happy
sunlit gaze.

 

And tomorrow
We awake with sunshine
To forget the time
of absent rays.

In the stillness
curling flecks of sunlight
fight a losing battle,

This is rather lovely. Thank you.
