Sun Child
She was raised in the sun
a sun with heavy lided eyes
that never did wink;
stretched across the sky languidly
Crowned in golden light,
she liked to dance among the flowers,
flowers of yellow that never slept
And above in the sky
the bright fire-orange eye
watched with a steady gaze
that grazed upon the skin
She never dreamed
for she never closed her eyes,
but she danced in fields of amber
in the light of day;
a day that is never vanquished
A child cradled in warmth and radiance,
her eyes seemed to shine
in illuminated innocence
born by the shield from darkness and shadows
Yet only a half-lived life
beneath the watch of a sun
that never smiled
without a purpose.
