I am a Turning by Ivan Guerrero Najera

I am a Turning


The last I checked sundown
Didn't have stars to hide
Your eyelids a falling gown
Your pupils and the dark collide

I'll chase your imagination
As you wonder with pride
I am an obsession
What I cast is open wide

I am the sunlight
On your forest floor, inside
And the highest branches, bright
I can't be shuttered or denied

I chased the rain away
All just for you, made it abide
And asked for it to stay
To please your gloomy side

In your life, I am a turning
A coming shift, a clue implied
I'll heal your forgotten and yearning
And remedy the tears you've cried
