I Haven't Seen the Sun Since Then

May 3, 2021

Fog rises from the lake

And from the heavens my love awakes

Her beauty bleeds from pink to blue

And I chat with her amongst the dew

The morning birds fill the sky

I dare not remove my eyes

Later on she slowly sinks

And the evening perfume begins to stink

Happy chirps turn to crows

As the dew slowly goes

And my happy eyes full of praise 

Shatter to a solemn gaze

Blue and gold turn to black

And every day I make my way back

All has been cold and dim

And I haven't seen the sun since then
