It evades me
I chase it
The harder I try
The farther it gets
But still…
I strive

Exhaustion begins to take me
As it fades into the horizon
I again lost it
Never again to delight
In the warmth of such a thing

How lonely our world becomes
As it disappears before us
The effort put forth
Was all but forgotten
The world has become black.

I know it will come up again
As another day blooms to life
But now it is dark
And I must sleep
Until the new sun awakens me.
