in the sunlight

i've never counted life in years
moments like pearls on a strand
time doesn't pass it lingers
alive in each encounter i hold
fully here yet missing in a memory
i wander with eyes wide shut
looking around the next corner
for something i lost but never had
surrounded in the sunshine with wings
a thousand butterflies on fire
my life is a story someone is telling
the next page will not turn
i must await the reader's cue
so much glorious heartbreak in a word
ahead the light is shining brightly
the next moment will be silver-lined
