Sunshine – Written Wednesday 15th January 2025 (Aged 49)

Sunshine

Sunshine felt closer today
I flirted with a cliché,
the one where the fog is lifted
and the idea of opportunity
is a gift that continues to give.

The dye is cast,
and someone—
someone unfurled the sails.
I am a person of life events,
a person of emotions.
Many of which continue to feel immense

Sunshine felt closer today
I flirted with a cliché again,
the one where the fog is lifted
and the idea of time
turns into something
that is always gifting

I do not know.
I do not know about life
and its background noise.
All I know
is that it never goes.

But I am a person of life events,
a person captured
by so many different lights.
Always here.
Always well known, always well meant
