Sun

It's the morning,
And you're smiling
as God-perhaps
stuck in the 80's
paints the sky
hot-pink.

Yesterday's forgotten-
for that I nearly love you

-for I need a starting over . . . 
need to hold hands 
with the sun 
this morning.

To shine with it so intensely
burning all my hurt away.

To warm the cold hearts
chilling the world 
and teach them to smile

To embrace all around me 
for all that it is
and all that it makes me.
