Sunshine – Written Wednesday 25th September 2024 (Aged 49)

Sunshine

maybe the sunshine
is too distant for some.
maybe,
it’s sunshine,
but only when you feel so young.
and maybe,
rain is a constant threat,
and sunshine
has already died a death
in the places where
we’re just trying to do our best.
well,
more or less,
just living with advancing years
and time’s heavy caress.
so maybe the sunshine
is too distant for some.
or maybe the sun moves position –
in your sky,
as you age and stop being young.

James Garratt – Wednesday 25th September 2024
