The New Sun Poem by Carla Nestoros

Good morning life’s new sunshine
So bright for daytimes break
Rip me out of my sweet ignorance
And make me stay awake

Guide me through the day I’ll have
That rips my every seam
Pull me back to reality
When I get one chance to dream

Your light glistens, so hollow
Warmth spreading through my bed
Please fill the cold harsh spaces
Where he used to lay his head

Please surround my vacant heart
Life, give me back my spark!
The places that we went to love
Curse them with cold and dark

Be strong and steal my tears now
That I otherwise would keep
If all else fails, dear sunshine
Send me softly back to sleep.
