Letter To The Warrior Sun Poem by Angela Bontle Ditumiso

My darling Sun
On my worst days
I sit atill
Gaze at you, thinking

One day I will be just like you
Rising with every one of my falls,
Though mostly unpredicted
Still I will rise

My life has become
Vapid and unbearable
You're the only thing
That gives me hope
You're a promise you see
A promise that one day
A yarn of fire
Will rise
And wash away all the bad
And that ball of fire
Will be me

I look at you
Thank God
For a wonderful reminder
Such as you
