i can see the Sun,
and it twinkles and winks at me from across the horizon.

i’m promised.

i lower my eyes,
Its brilliant gaze makes my heart skip,
but It melts out my shyness
with yellow rivulets of soft warmth upon
my goosebump-ed skin.

your shadow flits
just outside my vision,
maybe.
hard to tell.
i’m not exactly sure who you are,
or whether you’re even there.

all i know is the Sun,
caressing me with Its intense love—
you, who are also brought to this place by the Son—

are you promised as well?
