the sun set today
upon a day that taught me
how to live. for now that it’s gone
my light has too.
the sea that swallowed the sun
took away the joy of song,
and stole what could’ve been
hope for many, love for the rest.
the sun, was high up above a moment ago
and suddenly, is no where to be seen.
it brought clarity for many, for many
assurance. for me, it brought will.
without it, i seem to be lost.
tides wash away remains of the day
some call it memories, some ashes
for without the sun,
what is the meaning of joy, when you have no one to share it with,
how can pain indulge itself in darkness, knowing that it will never go away.
what is the meaning of a life where you know the sun set today, and shall rise nevermore.
——---------------- I started writing when my first dog, Bullet, passed away. It helped me escape what I feared to be my greatest enemy, and consoled those corners of my heart that faced darkness for the first time. Yesterday, I lost the love of my life, Champ (Bullet’s twin brother). I’ve lost more than my brother, my mother and father lost their son, my brother lost his best friend, my puppy lost his father. Send him love and blessings.
