Sunlight

The night is almost gone
Perhaps almost beyond the shaded dark
The hour of light to soon belong
Some whence for life to tell apart

For ones’ eyes only to see
If seen shall light be of day?
And my eyes yet seen to be
The dawning to simply light my way

Rays drowning shadows
For begone are than my shaded night
Anew are hopes revitalizing sorrows
For a return came whence the dawning sunlight
