The sky alights as do I.
Sun fills the fibers from head to toe.
Sun awakens so I must go.
I must go follow the sun it seems
or languish within startling dreams.
I prefer reality to map my way out of night.
I prefer a mind and heart filled with light.
Shadows always fall behind me.
Darkness no longer blinds me
though I am on unfamiliar paths
and the light will not last.
For a few hours, at least,
I progress past the breach
where it would be easy to fall
onto hopes covered by a pall.
Light guides my way
for another day.
It no longer matters if I know
exactly where I am meant to go.
I simply take delight
that it is not yet night.
This, then, is the destination
for each soul and every nation.
Be in the here. Be in the now.
Let this be our solemn vow.
As difficult as it is to follow the sun,
humanity’s journey has just begun.
There will always be another night.
Sunrise always returns to give us light.
