The sun has arisen
and much like a mother,
beckons the awakening of her children
with open arms,
welcoming those tired faces
every day like clockwork
giving the opportunities away
like trophies.
come and recieve from her.

Foolish bodies deny, and consume their
solemn prayers for prosperity
eliminating the divinity of hope,
extinguishing desire.

The sun arose today,
with a change in potential
and with a fluency so liquid,
that parched mouths now
rehydrate, revive.
Drink, and expand horizons
Dream and know that her mystery
is in motion.
All we have to do is try?.
