Sun Soaked Day

Crossing the lifted edge of night
I soak sunburst sky with delight
at daybreak.

I’ll take long journey belated
through wasteland gloom, so I waited
for daytime.

Go miles before dusk depressive,
while sun shines, for I’m obsessive
daytripper.

On ripples of reverie’s wake 
I’ll sail in joy, won’t let time break
my daydream.

Before I sink in night’s dark stream,
my journey will end in the gleam
of daylight.
