The sun will set

upon us all

whether we will more hours

into being

or rue the hours their length

The sun will set

upon the world

in our separate stages

and spaces

chasing time around the globe

The sun will set

to close the chapter

to push us

to take up our pens

and write upon a new page

The sun will set

and we must be ready

to shift once more

through nature’s cycle – Caroline A. Slee
