Driving Into the Light

I awoke in darkness then drove toward the light. The stars and moon simply vanish from sight. The sun starts to creep up to usher in today, I see so much, I don’t know what to say. Life does return with the passage of the sun. The stillness of night, cloaking moments to come. I hear birds singing as I look to the sky. Their song set me free and I dream I can fly. I return to places that I have been before, Remember a time when I was so sure. Things have changed though they look the same, Like a different picture hanging in the same frame. The sun does fade, obscured by the clouds, My faith and hope lie behind this shroud. This day feels different yet the sun returns, I see what I have and desire what I yearn. I’m not always sure where the day might lead, I try to gather all the pieces that I need. As the sun retreats and sinks from the sky, Another day has just passed me by.
