Little Miss Sunshine

Duke wrote this and sent it to me.. According to him, he started it while he was at Algiers, but got to the brownie part and stopped.. He finished it when he came back..

I simply love it.. Touching on so many levels.. It's like "Ouch!" and "Wow!" and "how on earth..." all rolled into one :)

He called it "Between Darkness and Light"... Enjoy..


He calls her Sunshine
But she likes the rain
A walk in the clouds
To take away the pain

They meet at the crossroad
Of darkness and light
He stares in bewilderment
As she stares in fright

She’s blinded by the darkness
He’s blinded by the light
In opposite directions
They fade out of site

A million miles away
He’s staring at the sea
Dreaming of tomorrow
Things he wants to be

A million miles away
She’s dreaming of the sea
As she slowly eats her brownie
And drinks her cup of tea

She looks across the table
To the place where they used to sit
Two lovers making promises, two lovers breaking up
She smiles and flips the page, as she takes another sip

The sea is quiet in awe
The moon is falling off
The sun is rising high, the light is creeping in
He’s thinking of the sunshine that he’s slowly writing off

Alone at bed at night
She dreams of a different world
Where nothing ever dies
Where no one ever leaves
She dreams of a different world
Where no one really cries
Where their paths again meet

At the crossroad of darkness and light
