Sun Shine

That’s just it.

I never thought it’d be like this.

Things have changed

And people have left.

But im still here.

Waiting.

Just waiting for a glimmer of hope.

Wishing that someday

Everything will be fine.

Its time to come out of the dark.

When there will be

A smile on every bodies face.

Well that day has come.

The sun is shining again.

There is laughter everywhere.

The air is crisp and cool.

And yet when the sun goes down

At night

I pray every night that then next morning

It will rise again.

Because returning to the darkness

Is something no one should have to do twice.

I really like the ambiguity

I really like the ambiguity of this poem. It has a yin and a yang; it rings realistic and true. 

If you want to view paradise, simply look around, and you will. Anything you want to... do it. Want to change the world? There's nothing to it.
