Ascend me high; I allow your hands, wings,
Oh, your shimmers are quite the blinding sight,
But a gift cowards are eager to throw,
Hiding away in the darkness of shade.
Ascend me high, with you I will reside,
Bathing in the light of your waterfall,
In the crux of dark, your glow remains,
And youâve sign your signature on the world.

The sunshine is bold, so I have been told.
Itâs like a feeling you get with someone,
The feeling is warm, cozy, nice, and safe.
Although I will not know what that warmth is.
I have never seen the blinding sunlight,
Never seen the warm, cozy, nice, and bright.
I hope I get to see and feel it soon.
For that I am the dark side of the moon....
Sunshine is where I find you beaming down
Down, my heart plummets to the ocean floor
Releasing rays, your warmth wraps around me
Up, my heart floats from the freezing water
I continue to orbit around you
Circling you like Iâm an excited dog
The kindest person I know, golden sun
Youâll always be the first person I seek...
Sunshine in February, oh how nice,
tiny white buds bloom along creeping vines,
windless air emboldens the sun to beam,
for, winter is simply a suggestion here.
Rain clouds in February, oh how rare,
we beg for and bemoan the fleeting storm
puddles reveal our communal neglect
for, winter is often forgotten her....
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 a butterfly sent by you
Engrossing yellow, lacing the meadow
But the best part of this magical scene
Is 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.
Itâs 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 lifeâs 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...
Warm rays pierce clouds, Golden light bathes the earth. Flowers turn their faces, seeking life-giving warmth Warm rays pierce clouds, Golden light bathes the earth. Flowers turn their faces, seeking life-giving warmth...
You are my sunshine that leads everyone
Youâre my sunshine making my day better
Youâre my sunshine wake me up in the A.M
Youâre my sunshine shining me on through days
Youâre my sunshine blinding me to red lights

When itâs convenient for you and not us
Youâre my sunshine Iâll live and die for...
