The
sun’s rays
haven’t touched
my face yet today, and I long
to feel their warm kiss on my skin,
eyes closed as I lift my face,
open my arms wide,
and bask in their
embrace.
The sun has
been shining since before
I woke up, yet I haven’t made the effort
to soak up the sunlight and refill my fuel cells
to the brim, displacing any shadows
lingering inside and leaving
no space for their
return.
So I stop
now and stand
in your light, eyes closed,
facing you, ears wide open for your
word for me today and
asking for freckles
of your love to
sprinkle my
face.
Let me
show the signs
of your presence on
my face, in my heart, in my mind,
and in all that I do; may
your light shine
through
me.
