I hate waking to see morning sunlight stream out of my window

because there, during the last new-bright-morning era,

We were spring, summer, and autumn

But we bloomed in the springtime.

 

Seeing my happy mourning morning sunlight makes me believe I should also be dancing.

@SparrowSun it's all metaphors and a play on words. i use "happy mourning morning sunlight" in a way that both describes the general feeling of sunlight (happy) and my feeling toward it at the time (negative). i resonate morning sunlight streaming out of a window as well as seasons with something specific.
