A Man

A man is like a Sunrise amber in hue
On rising, you feel all his energy around you 
through my eyes, seeing … strength reflecting 
like sunrays aligning out towards the sky 
If a problem shall arise … self-sacrificing will 
resolve it at that time 
 
A man can be attentive …will keep you in mind
with every throb of his heart … will keep your soul 
Glistening … like diamonds flowing … on top of a sea 
through my eyes, seeing this … makes me smile … by him giving 
the right amount of Sunshine

A man can … sway as tidal waves in the sea…drifting will bring 
different items to the shore’s feet 
through my eyes, seeing this … It may stop … but sometime later
the driftage will restart … Sunlight will continue to burn your heart

A man can be passionate about abstaining from 
shining … rays the other way ... being in just one 
place is where … his beam of light is frayed
through my eyes, seeing this man … a Sunset grayish in hue 
not in the distance as I thought … standing right
here glowing and shining next to me … and this man is a Sunrise amber in hue
