Dancing with Daylight

Oscar Auliq-Ice 1994 (Port Elizabeth)



Lost within daylight,
Living so true,
Each golden morning,
I dance without you.

Eyes open wide,
Embracing the view,
Yet in every shadow,
A hint of your hue.

Among autumn leaves,
In orchards anew,
I cherish the moment,
The breeze, the blue.

From sunrise to sunset,
Life's rhythm ensues,
I dance in the daylight,
Inspired by you.

Whispers of memories,
In each gust that blew,
Oh, radiant daylight,
It sings of you too.
