Blazing Suns Once Blackened Me: Poem

Blazing Suns Once Blackened Me
.
Blazing suns once blackened me
My soul was bright
I watched the moon dancing
With the clouds at night
.
Cold winter wind bleached me
That was my misery
My soul became dark
A sad lonely destiny
.
I whispered and moaned
My life seemed thus sealed
My mind fled thither
Into wounds never healed.
