The Waiting Sun

I’m ready for the blanket

Of soothing nightfall.

Ready for the sun to sleep;

He tires as much as I do.

Needing closure for my eyes,

I long to fade away.

Not fade away forever,

No—

But only for a moment.

And when I reawaken

I’ll feel the waiting sun

Smiling.

Then we can go together

About our day.
