Chasing The Sun

entry picture

Footsteps forward on the cold concrete,

westward facing towards the golden mass.

The gleaming sky of orange, green, and blue

lit up the last of the day.

I chased the sun with all my might

it's going away I know that well,

from the east, dark clouds move upon,

and I am losing the race

As the last of the light fades,

I reach the endless ocean of

dark waves and the chilling wind.

The sun has gone, the world is dark,

I head back on the lonely gloomy path.

I will do it again the next day,

always chasing the sun,

always running out of time.
