Sun

Sun begins its ascent, quiet and alone
In the dead of the night
with darkness all around
trying to fill one crevice of the earth with its light
slowly, one crevice at a time
sun rises to be a red ball just visible up at the horizon
The ball continues
trying hard to comes into our homes
little in the beginning
The ball slowly envelopes the entire sky
The sky ablaze with its fiery fury
Some rejoice and grow
while others shrivel up and die
It continues like this throughout the day
only to realize, the sun is losing its sheen
It is once again an ochre ball that it was
The once, all encompassing Sun
is now dwarfed by the skyscrapers around
Once again diminishing behind the horizon
and that sadly is the truth of our lives too
But wait, there is another truth, just as much true
The Sun sets only to rise the next day
