Shine

With every breath I take
Something inside me wakes
Up to the bright sun with weary eyes
But why won’t her tears dry

She’s lost in a world of greed
Spoonfuls of sun she feeds
To the open mouths of people
She’s always there when we seek her

Rain, Snow, Shine
Her light to you is blind,
But we are the ones who always dine,
On all of the sunlight we can find
That she has left behind
Because her thoughts are only kind
Only because she doesn’t mind
But now is the time
For her to hand it over to the moon
Only for her to return soon.
