Dear Sunshine

Dear sunshine,

You bring life to all you touch.

Morning glories open up to you and you alone.

No flashlight or fire or even the moon 

can make them do that much.

No child's drawing is complete unless

the corner of the paper you caress.

Every day, you rise from the east.  This 

natural alarm shining through windows. 

You bring man back from the depts of 

worlds created in their subconsciousness.

Nothing but joy do I feel when your rays

of heat kiss my skin.  How I loved those 

summers of my youth.  I felt I could bask

 in your warmth for the rest of my days.

How I used to yearn for your return

throughout those cloudy, rainy spells.

There was no candle I could burn

that could my longing for you quell.

Oh, how long since I have found

on my skin your kiss of light.  They 

stacked dirt between us one clear day.

Now I'm stuck six feet underground.

Love,

Corpse
