Sunrise held on to
Her gold
And silver hues
Mighty well this morning,
Until
Bursting forth with the power of
her glorious light,
All else relented and bowed
Upon her return.
Warmth and brilliance now
Bathe my body and dance with my soul.

Warmth and brilliance now
Bathe my body and dance with my soul.
I used to bathe myself in
Other
People’s emotions,
Until I could not tell up from down.
And I began to drown.
I could not find the air.
I
Could not tell which feelings were mine
Or theirs.
And in a matter of time
I was
Suffocating.
