Sombre Son

 

 

See that star twinkling,

the one that glows so bright,

The one I speak to at night,

pulsing in the cosmic sky,

Silent tears slowly dry,

but memories never die,

giving me strength

to face every day, any distance,

and today

would have been

your birthday,

So, like that star

I'll sing in joyfully tone,

but inside I'll be a sombre sun,

burning when I am alone.

 

I see you there,

in the vast expanse,

In the refreshing waters,

in the plants.

The soil,

fertile and growing,

vibrant fields flowing

in the gentle winds

you are blowing,

and on this sea 

of flower-born memory

I'll be the boat rowing along,

Singing a joyful song,

but inside I'll always be

your sombre son.

 

The November chill

can drop like a brick

Making icicle tears

spear your heart so quick.

Each one a flash, a glance

at a day now buried in the distance,

but I'll always remember

the love that warmed through,

like a fire

melting the stalactites of misery,

Leaving me 

with only pools of memory

to dive into. And for a moment

I'll smile

and believe you are there in the room,

but then I'll see that sparkling star, 

the shimmering moon,

and I'll sing a joyous song,

but inside

I'll always be your sombre sun,

trying to warm up everyone.
