Warmth

---

I let the sun kiss my face today.
I let the warmth caress my skin
The beams to blind my sight,
The rays to hinder my being,
The shadows to caricature my lashes.

I retreated for the light,
I stayed for the warmth.
Craving the coziness,
Detesting the vile power
Embedded in the rays,
I hesitated. I tripped.
But, then, I stayed.

The warmth cracked the cold,
The ice cold in my heart,
The shield of my being,
The guard of my life.

Braced with the glow,
I uncovered myself for more,
For more life,
Forever more peace,
And for less of death.
