No Need to Be Strong

At Midday is a sun poem, a reflection on the light, shadow, and darkness we find every day.

At Midday – Sun Poem

At midday,
 the sun rules out shadows
 and shines and shines and shines
 and warms your skin
 and strokes your bones.
 
Now, we can
 go breath sweet meadows
 and laugh and cry and talk
 until we grasp
 and steal her tones.
 
No longer
 do shadows threaten and rule
 and gag and choke and kill.
 The heat we burn
 now dooms the dark 
 all day and night.
