The Calling Sun

These walls are blinding, Holding no reflection, Revealing no tone, shade, or hue. Swallowing all life and personality within. These walls are weighted with sadness and neglect. Wonders and horrors of the world barred off. Alone she sits, needle at bedside. Along with the spark in her eyes this four-cornered room has long since gone dark. Her sun once brightened her world, Illuminating the four-cornered abyss. But alas, the night always comes for the day's bright sky. Alone he sits, at her bedside, He's lost her again hasn't he? Day breaks, the sun is rising, A little boy calls for his mother to come home.
