Cooling down
the sun ends its journey
at least for today,
but wouldn’t we
if we had our way
ask it to stay longer?

I used to burn like the sun
until I aged
and I understand the rage
it must feel
as the seal is set.

Tomorrow or Kingdom will come,
my bet’s on tomorrow because
it’s been tried and tested and found
to be true,

if you wish you can bet too.
