Poem: Rise With The Sun

Photo by Hanbi Bae

Light shines through the window

Brighter, brighter

The beginning of a new day

Something is coming

I can feel it down to my toes

Hope reaching out for me

Arms opened wide

The sun welcomes me

The promise of something new

Something different

My circumstances haven’t changed

I’m still me

Still lost, still confused

Seeing the sun

Knowing its strength

Is changing

I’m changing

Sometimes something so simple

Something as small as a sunrise

Can change everything

With the sun I rise.
