Sometimes we look at the sky together The colors will shift based on the weather We hold each other tight and stare at the sight The painting of bright, ever changing light
Splattered blue like butterfly sent by you Engrossing yellow, lacing the meadow But the best part of this magical scene It that you are here, sitting next to me
All aboard! Welcome to my twisted show. I have secrets buried in my garden. They make my flowers bloom as if my soil Was good for more than hiding the bodies
Of past loves who saw me on the surface And jumped to the conclusion I carried No depth, except an empty head filled with Dead air and a brainstem armored in thorns.
Sunshine, Happiness in its finest form. Bright yellow light, An embrace of warm light. Blinding light, Brilliance and beauty shines. Joy and hope, The sun emits, on my skin.
Energy and light it beholds for us. The sun a star unlike any other. It’s so far away yet so close to us. For sunshine I am forever grateful.

Passionate beam upon my aging skin
Numbered days in this body, yet I grin
Shine upon me, my beautiful spotlight!
The brief moments shared are life’s greatest win
I glow upon that fiery gaze at noon Night, approaches and I wait for that spin Do you remember me, beautiful sun? Hidden away like a forgotten sin
You are my sunshine that leads everyone You’re my sunshine making my day better You’re my sunshine wake me up in the A.M You’re my sunshine shining me on through days
You’re my sunshine blinding me to red lights You’re my sunshine disappear randomly When it’s convenient for you and not us You’re my sunshine I’ll live and die for
In every multi vitamin tablet In every sugar rushing orange drink Somewhere on the production line it shines Sunshine; crushed and sculpted, pulped and bottled.
In the dark corners of the kitchen drawer In the liquid depths of each fridge corner As somewhere on the shopping list it lands Sunshine; priced and packaged, then forgotten.
She arrives in purple noir elegance Deepest hours form fissures her gold erupts Settling about the land gracefully Her crown beside her, content in our love
In the distance, comprehends all that gives She has seen the taking the hurt the pain Illuminating us all is her goal The sunshines each day to help us see
In radiant skies, the sunshine gleams, A tapestry woven with golden beams. It whispers tales of a world aglow, Where shadows fade, and dreams can grow.
With every dawn, a new chance to dance, In the sun's embrace, we find romance. It paints the day with hues divine, A masterpiece of warmth and shine.
Oh, sunshine, you're a gentle friend, On whom we can always depend. Your light guides us through each passing hour, Filling our hearts with boundless power.
So let us cherish each sunny day, In the sunshine's glow, let's laugh and play. For in its rays, we find our bliss, A moment of joy we'll never miss.
“When I was younger, there was frozen rain. We called it snow- it was quite magical. It would coat the ground, turning the world white. It was, for me, the mark of the winter.”
“We only have rain now. Why not the snow?” “The sunshine doesn’t allow for the snow. It’s become too warm, since I was a kid. I think you would like the snow. I miss it.”
