The Sun That Lit My Day

As I sat on a graffittied bench
A clear blue sky above me
The sun warmed the earth
And I basked in it.

I heard children get off the I o’clock train
Chirping like the morning birds
Their footsteps clippety clapping
Along the cobbled streets.

I reasoned all was well
For the sun was out
And the buds were in bloom
I heard the faint trickle of
A fountain across the square.

And I thought
I love him still,
He loves me still,
And the sun shone on
Bright and hot.
