It Fell In On Me

 

“It Fell In On Me”

 

One morning the sunlight poured,

It fell in on me.

At the hope of day.

When I could see what life should be.

 

I stretched and I yawned.

I rested warm and safe where I belonged.

So beautiful, so peaceful,

I’d never felt anything so strong.

 

But so like the weather,

You never know what’s warm or cold.

If anything’s reliable,

For your heart to hold.

 

I got caught outside,

As my world was freezing.

I remember my clouds of breath,

As you were leaving.

 

One morning the sunlight poured,

It fell in on me.

At the hope of day.

When I could see what life should be.

 

But we all know better,

Don’t we?
