No Bright and Sunny Days

I wake to find my day begun,
it never waits for me.

I rise to take my place
in it, abandoning my sleep.

I hope to find some overcast,
a dark and gloomy day.

No sun appearing in the sky, 
with light to give away.

For more sunshine I do not need,
I have my fill of light.

I have a source of daily sun,
to dawn my private nights.

I have a brilliant radiance,
which brings me days brand new.

No need for bright and sunny days,
I draw my light from you.

"I draw my light from you"- incredibly beautiful verse and really brings the whole poem together nicely. This, too, was a pleasure to read and I enjoyed it immensely. Great write; kudos! :)
