The Sun lets its rays circle around us
It’s golden light touches us every day.
We take one breath and feel the emptiness as it courses through our lungs
Existing as just wisps of our pain.
The Sun never stops shining
Yet one day we will stop breathing.
It cannot revive the silent beat of our heart
Or bring back the red flush of our cheeks.
We become one less person to share the glow of the sun
Our eyes stare unyielding into the brightest light,
Seeing nothing.
Now I am in the wind whistling through the trees.
I am in the golden and purple streak of the sky
When the Sun opens its eyes.
You will see me reborn in the bloom of a young rose,
Beauty reflecting in my innocence.
I have no body; I am only my soul.
I am whole for within me is nothing but what God created.
I am exposed to you within death
For I am stripped of the flesh that gave me life.
