narrow stairs.


when i was young
lying in the grass
i felt so safe
in the warming bath

of sunlight

vast open sky
could do no harm
like an embrace
from mother's arms

in sunlight

with every year
that came to pass
more clouds appeared
'til the sky went black, and there was

no sunlight

and it disappeared at the same speed
as the idealistic things i believed
the optimist died inside of me

no sunlight

anymore.
