"One Sunny Day" 
by Eric von Bayer 
 
One sunny day I lay alone; 
staring distantly, long in thought. 
Pondering over simple things, 
without which life is sadly naught. 
 
Wondering where my life would go. 
Examining the endless horizons 
that were mine to know. 
 
The sun shone down 
on my welcoming face, 
A purity of light 
within my heart embraced. 
 
The warmth that illuminated 
my vivid life, 
had I ignored it in ignorant crime? 
 
But as with all things 
of beauty and love, 
they are but common 
without the cold darkness. 
 
Alas, the searing memory 
of light shines on inside my soul. 
Leaving a warm emptiness, 
waiting... longing... for you.
