I Remember

I remember

Beneath a bitter dawn

In the magic of a concealed sun

In the midday warmth of a tropical sun

The skies aflame with a setting sun

I remember

The glowing sky of a sunrise

The winters pale sunrise tainting the tip of the mountains pink

The single light in frost

The everyday death and birth

I remember
But they don’t

All they know is cold

Rain

The crushing of thousands of forests

The waves coming over the islands

Underground

No real light

But I remember

The morning shines of pearly light

As if a gift from the heavens

Glowing in the first rays of sunshine

The fires of the dawn

I remember

The bliss bathing the hills in a gentle coral light

In the blazing sunshine

I remember

The cold sunlight of early February

In the dying afternoon light

The shattered sun behind the dark clouds

I remember

Something that I can’t see

My fading memories of the sunlight shining on the buildings

Glistening on the enchanting mirrors on the skyscrapers

I feel myself fading

My soul longing for the warmth

My eyes longing for the blinding luminescence
