Just one Sun
and so many sunrises.
Just one Universe
and so many nations.
Just one nation
and so many living beings.
And all life -
at the mercy of the Sun.
One part will soon welcome the Sun,
yet another has embraced it already.
One part has bid farewell to the Sun,
another will follow soon.
Sunrise upon sunrise,
each part of the world -
gets its turn to be engulfed in
daylight and darkness alternately.
Dreams reign somewhere,
realization dawns elsewhere.
Just one Sun
and so many sunrises.
