Lullaby No. 19 - Staring at the Sun

The sun set through
My lifted eyes
In waves of music
Sunken oceans of cordial depth
Chopped by laborious winds
Into billows of exhaustion
For dangerous journeys of the mind
Dream states and long forgotten essences
Like the golden haze as you looked west
Staring at the sun
Some forty years ago
By your stretches of temporality
The poetic rendering of time
With an empirical backdrop
Orange light filled your thoughts
Silhouettes of former selves
With golden edges sang
That everything’ll be just fine
This life is but a pass
