Peek-a-Boo Sunrise

Peek-a-Boo Sunrise

By David Avila

  Stop running from me

    I see you for a moment

  Gone the next

     Back again

 Left already?

   -I've waited long enough

Dont make me wait

    I will count to ten

  Gosh you are beautiful

     ~Dont hold back

Shimmering shining sending deep messages into those purple hearts and uncanny heroic deeds

   Let go

  And let go a little further

      Push beyond

-Come through and let your light shine

    For a moment I will catch this sunrise

 And on the other side of our game freedom will ring in the ship that tips and keeps its balance

    If only for a moment

  She waits for me in the sun's light

    ~She has balanced this thing long enough

        Knowing that while I am not here I am not ... this miraculous mystery

  Let there be light

   In the beauty of a sky thag holds its colors

 A little while longer

   ~I bring balance

 Or not

    But she says it has changed

  She is not the same since I have brought me

    And letting go means knowing i am not in the way

   -Of the sunrise that wants me to see it

 The sunrise thag wants me to feel it

     The sunrise that could get away

   But she and I are getting good at catching it

 ~Hunting the sunrises that try and hide

    Not pretending anymore but realizing she and I can hold that sunrises beauty in the hand

     But by the time you try and show it to others

   It is gone again
