I don't care all that much for the Summer

The burning heat makes my mind spin

A vortex churning deep inside of my head

Swirling my soul on towards the dead

But I know that others love it so much

So who am I to steal away their joy

Never had many friends anyway

So I hope they enjoy the heat today

Beauty comes in many forms

Rays of gold and Autumn storms

Sunshine bathing all I see

And yet I know this beauty is not for me

Sublime sunshine

I always preferred the Fall and Winter

Bundling up against the cold wind

The changing leaves upon the old trees

Soon to drift and float down all around me

I know that other people hate it so much

The chill of December descending on their homes

They always come out for the gold of the sun

But they also come to take away my Autumn

And joy comes in many forms

But so does torment and scorn

The sun shines down all around me

But they blind my eyes to the beauty

Sublime sunshine

Clouds above so soft and white

Kissing the blue of the sky

Up above where angels soar

Out here where the cold winds roar

The sun is just out of grasp

Fingers strain and grab at last

Here where all the ospreys cry

Up here where the eagles fly

White in the black

Cannot turn back

Gold in my eyes

As my spirit dies

Sublime sunshine

The Earth below me grey like slate

Oceans bubble pain and rage

Down where all the devils lie

And where all the strangers cry

My fingers coiling white and hot

I remember every time I've fought

The heat burns my mind to ash

As I kiss the sun so vast

White in my heart

Eternity starts

Gold in my soul

Burning away the cold and coal

Sublime sunshine
