when the sun rises
may my face relax beneath its warmth
and stop trying so hard to fix the night
with the day
may my hands let go of their fists
and shoulders sigh into acceptance
my jaw stop clenching and my teeth
to stop grinding away all the hope
no, let it all melt away
beneath the gentle rays
of a morning sunlight
tender upon my skin
may it open my heart
to let the love in,
may it bend my soul to also
shine, to rise, and to live
