like dawn, his light became visible to me slowly

when i entered the room
the only presence was darkness
a minuscule light in complete emptiness showed itself
the golden ray extended beyond the gloom
it stretched and battled with the void
the radiance dashed to my eyes
my first glance at the rest of my life

everyday the luminosity grew and more of my soul was visible
i relied on the sunshine to see the world
the richness brightened the life i lived
trees became alluring landscapes  
water transformed into magnificent seas
the clouds shifted into plush pillows

murkiness obscured the light he casted
but the sunshine always prevailed
without fail, it navigated me through the best and worst of my existence
it seemed as if the luster was forever ablaze

internal shadows rolled over the sun
my light was entirely eclipsed
where were the landscapes?
the seas
the ivory pillows i danced upon in my dreams
all withdrawn from my vision

i clashed with the isolation until there was nothing
hollow once again, my world was dull
trees were bland and seas were static
the cushions near heaven i dreamt of and waltzed along, disappeared

time passed slowly within the blankness
the unrelenting glimmer contended against the vacancy

like dawn, his light became visible to me slowly
once again

twilight trembled and quaked
through the fractures, i witnessed the daybreak rushing in
the light descended onto my being
the darkness retreated at the sight of his radiance
my realm was faultless

like dawn, my love for him became visible to me slowly
