Poem: "Chasing The Sun"

"Chasing The Sun" *

If I look inside
and touch the dark
empty spaces
and feel cold

The clouds overhead
silently wait before
a storm that never comes
as the world
holds a collective

In the morning
you stand outside my door
waiting expectantly

You smile
as you take my hand
and whisper hope
into my unsuspecting ear

Beside you
I feel whole
without you
the ravages come
like vultures

I would do
anything for you
you warm my heart
and I am forever indebted

Though we cannot
be together
I shall be devoted
to you, beloved

I will never be afraid
to be the star
chasing your Sun.
