The Sunlight Daughter

The Sunlight Daughter 

By: Adam M. Snow 

The single spring allotted her expires, 

Like the sun at dusk inspires; 

And though she knows not a reason, 

She awaits the sun by season. 

To light her from her darkened days; 

To free her from her darkened ways. 

How cruel the waking one-eyed sun that stares, 

And of this heart it tears. 

No longer spins or bends the earth; 

No longer treasure, a child's mirth. 

But who to say that fortune grieves her, 

If time be still, who knows for sure. 

To scourge all things of her to yore, 

and of her time forevermore. 

To elude all things from past to morrow, 

And to be the forever sorrow.

wonderful, strongly written and image provoking couplets here.

Beautiful and heartfelt. Thoroughly enjoyed this piece. Lovely work.

[Jazique]

I love it. I barely know why with the word for word and descriptions of how it all flows together but, even though its ending seems to have brung sorrow while it looked like the light of spring should have brought joy.

[Thomas Fitzgerald]

A most complexing and relevant piece, well done, good read.

The flow in this is great..my favorite lines are:
She awaits the sun by season.
To light her from her darkened days;
wonderful imagery

I like the flow of thoughts and words in this poem.
"She awaits the sun by season.
To light her from her darkened days;"
Thank you for the excellent poetry.

Lovely use of words here. I can cleverly image this. The details are incredibly crisp, light and yet have so much more hidden perhaps in small ways. You did well penning this. It have smooth flow that definitely aids me this morning. I also sense a longing. Maybe I am just reading too much into it as I often to. ^^* But these are not words I use lightly. I believe every stanza is unique.
