The Sunlight

The Sunlight

A Poem by Color of the Iris

Many find their world to be without Sunlight

Their life a freezing, lifeless, inhabitable void

That consumes the sanity you once contained

And leaves you gasping for a breath at the end

 

The Sunlight that they long for represents happiness

A harmonious joy that sings throughout their heart

A loving body that leaves its mark upon their soul

Leaving you breathless and ravenous for more of it

 

But it is the difficult lesson we have all come to learn

Sunlight is not an element we can always depend on

Lending your trust within the Sunlight is useless

It’s like expecting a painkiller to relieve you completely

 

Useless… completely useless, worthless, nothing

The Sunlight will not always be there for you

And most times it’s not there when needed most

Like a question in the darkness waiting to be answered

 

And if the answer is thought reasonable enough

The Sunlight will grant you with a response

Just remember, the answer may not be one you wish for

For it is always somewhere beyond the clouds

Watching… waiting for that soulless question
