Sunlight - May 20, 2000

In the shadowed world I thrive
and
dream of sunshined love;
like the hidden secrets of the night
I shy away from the light

It is a constant dance -
I dream yet fear the light
disappearing with the rising sun
I wonder
if it matters
that sunlight is something
that I am seeking

Seeking, spurning
this cycle never ends
one day
I say,
one day,
I too, shall find something
that would hold
the shadows in the sunlight -
if nothing,
but to throw it in sharp relief.
