HAD I NOT SEEN THE SUN
3-3-2026
I watch a lot of Asian shows with subtitles cuz they tell such good stories. There was a show called "HAD I NOT SEEN THE SUN" about a young man in prison for being a serial killer. When it is all said and done, the story was how he avenged a girl that befriended him even in his troubled home life. I do no justice to the raw emotions and the feel of the story. Please watch. But the title is what stuck with me most. I love the feel of it and all it implies. She was his sun.
HAD I NOT seen the sun
would the stars have sufficed?
When only half the songs are sung
Colors only of two or one
Moonlight gray..
and darkest white
Had I not seen the sun
would I question the darkness..
when the moon is abed
questioning the questions in my head?
Had I not seen the sun
would I have settled in life?
in my little corner
no questions
no strife
Had I not seen the sun
would I sleep at peace
living quietly
dreaming silently
beyond wishes or
hope?
Had I not seen the sun
then tears would have been of no use
and why would death matter?
Had I not seen the sun.
Peace
