Summer

Watching the days flow by
As the time passes
Everyday is the same
The sun
Shining brightly in the east
Burning into the soft sky
Each ray blinding
Then glorious sunset
At the beach
I lie with no worries
As the sun dies
Sinking below the horizon
In a funeral of flame
Night falls
As the sweet moon rises
Raining cool light
Upon my shoulders
As it hangs silently
It comforts me
Brings me out of this sorrow
This hole of bitterness
Its light gives me hope
As it illuminates my darkened world
The ghostly sphere
Dispels the shadows
Lifts me up
As I look skyward
To a new day.
