Take me to the sun.

Steer me from the cold shadows,

dark corners,

breathless bays.

Take me to the sun.

Where my eyes burn and my skin scorches.

Where I drink in breath and life like a thirsty sailor.

Take me to the sun.

Where there is no need to tread tentatively,

testing each step with feet, hands, mind.

Where the brightness makes uncertainty unnecessary.

Take me to the sun.

The cold has made me weary.
