Sometimes all we need is

A little sunlight.

It makes even the darkest

Corners of life,

Suddenly seem bright.

And I can’t help but drown in its

Warm, blinding embrace.

It passes right through

The windows of my soul,

Tells my brain that I’m safe,

And fills my heart with pure love.

Turns golden my hair

And reminds me that light—

Will always break through

Darkness;

For there is still sunlight

Amidst rain-filled clouds.

The rain must fall before

The sun can come out.

And think I am odd,

But it seems as though,

Passed on loved ones,

Reach down from

The heavens, and

Kiss my cheeks

Through warm

Rays of light.

Yes, sometimes,

All it is

That we need,

Is a little

Sunlight.
