Work Text:
I’ll take my lessons from the sun.
Each day it disappears
hiding behind the horizon
and yet rises the next,
persistent
The darkest night
followed again by morning
would that life were so regular
with darkness measured in hours
and clocks
rather than unknowns
would that life were so consistent
knowing when the sun would rise again
but still I choose to take notes
outline the lessons on my heart
that the darkness is temporary
And the arms of a friend can hold me
can help guide my path
the moon's weak imitation of sun
until the sun rises again
Life changes
insurmountable obstacles and events on my road
and yet
daily
the sun still rises
