Hand-drawn sunflower swaying in the wind

Crayon sunflower drifting near the upper center

Large playful sunflower near the center

Small sunflower tucked near the center right

Large sunflower drifting near the lower center

Offset sunflower leaning in from the left

Tall sunflower leaning across the middle

Broad sunflower opening across the lower left

Wide sunflower drifting across the upper right

Without you

April 1, 2026Firebase Surprise archive

It's not the same

Those gloomy days, with no sunshine

When the sun hides through along the time

It's not the same

Those times without your presence, your smile

When wait for your glimpse takes a while

As time passes by, the more I feel the absence

The more I choose to suffer, the more I suffocate

As I think of you, the more I feel your presence

Even though not as near, I still can relate

In every turns of those bending pathways

As I made the swerve along the roadways

I could see the beam of sunshine in the haze

Dim in hue yet so bright, just like your rays

Even through the silence of the distance

I could hear you at times through my heart

Or is it just my illusion, I wondered in instance

For little do these hearts want to stay apart

Restless and tensed throughout the time

I think of you, with every cell in my brain

For this outpours, this box of love of mine

I suffer without you, I hide no pain

So, it's not the same

Those nights and days, without your grace

When I just yearn to see that face

My sunshine, my joy

That gleaming face!
