Sunlight

Like a cool desert breeze
On a hot summer day
Wafting over me
And offering relief

Like a gentle monsoon rain
Healing the parched earth
Drops of understanding
Promising rebirth

Like the evening sky
Filled with twinkling stars
Lighting up my night
Diminishing the scars

Like the day’s sunlight
Returning to shine on me
Surrounding me in warmth
And all I’ll ever need
