Chasing the Sun

Yesterday saw us through in a stroll Unaware of the marathon we've begun. By day's end we found ourselves bearing future's toll Realised we were in it to secure today's sun. Today saw us slightly worn thin Indulgent naïveté in this marathon we've begun. Into each other's strengths we lean Hoping to see the end in tomorrow's sun. Tomorrow may see us out in the cold We may not be done with this marathon we've begun. At opposite poles save for the binds that hold But still planting hope in future's sun. The future might see each breath to be drawn In this marathon we've begun. Only to be swallowed by each new dawn Inadvertently still chasing the sun.
