To the Sun
Caring, gentle and understanding you always are
Your life a tangled rope, a struggle
An insecure, uncertain path
Was he your hope, a shining jewel?
A solution to at least a few knots. A way out?
A sidewalk which led to endless dependency
The wrong type of love.
Your happiness depended on him
Neither friends nor work nor happiness paved your road.
Instead the cracks grew bigger.
Your accent thick and dumb in a country you couldn’t call your own.
Then I came tumbling out like Alice In Wonderland.
Now you depended on me and I on you
Gum to nipple, you to him
Was I your way out?
Oh what a wrong doing!
For more life leads to more heaviness
The way a flowers neck breaks at the weight of a bee, clinging.
But worry no more for soon it is time.
I will spread my wings and walk my own path
Not one of dependency, unhappiness or escape
Dare I say your life was close to failure
We, your children your ultimate hope
Will soon come a life of loneliness?
Will the sad lonely sun rise and sink?
Each day and night feeling unaccomplished?
And realise that life is so much more.
