The sun undresses its silky rays
before the blushing earth.
The earth gazes,
her sapphire eyes soak in
the glimmering shot of dawn. The moon
hide away, curving against
the hangnail of light. Stars
scintillate their last dust of evening.
“You always act like you’ve never seen me before.”
The sun removes another layer.
“Like each time is too good to be true. ”
Spinning, the earth grows dizzy. “You are the one who
abandons me in the dark.”
Above the horizon, the sun smiles.
“Clairvoyance is buried inside of you.
You know I will always return.”
The sun’s amber skin
radiates along coasts and cities,
intensifying. Brightness diminishes-
night turns into day into night once more.
“I’m still alive for you, love.”
The earth tucks in the trails of dusk
as the sun cradles revolving planets.
“See you again, soon.”
thought of the first two lines while driving and touched on the rest just now, wish I could magically pull out all of the right words
