An Ode to the Sun
This was inspired by my holiday to Tangalooma Island in November 2016.
Eight months ago I fell in love with you As your rays sunk deep into my skin Your warmth covered me I felt love, no longer a slave to fear After escaping my grasp for twenty five years Love was given to me In the form of your comfort Unashamed, unafraid Unabashed, unspoken Twenty five years of being on guard One decade of living in the dark Now ready to bask in the light Welcomed, accepted Received, indescribable How fortunate I am To experience you every day I ask myself How did I get so lucky?
I really hope you enjoyed it. I’m no poet and I wrote this in about five minutes with minimal editing. On this holiday I realised how much I love the sun.
