The Sun came out
for the first time
in a long time,
and I was with you
in body,
mind,
and spirit.
So simple,
how the day came together,
yet it had all the feelings
of a rarity.
Such as it is,
in hard times,
in a wild country.
Spend so much time
just doing what we can
to survive.
It seems sometimes,
the sky neglects us,
but then again,
maybe we neglect the sky.
Can’t remember
the last time
I just enjoyed the day.
Slowed down,
breathed deep,
and took it all in.
With the sunshine
warm on my skin,
and my life behind me.
With you beside me,
we might forget our troubles.
Cast aside
our cares for a brief time.
The Sun
melts away our worry,
and burns off
the haze of resentment.
Here it is,
an almost perfect moment.
We’ll take it in,
for we know that it won’t last.
Hold on to me.
Don’t let me go
back to whatever happens
after this
blissful deviation.
