The Sun Sighed at the Earth Today
The sun sighed at the Earth today, the sound,
Lost among voices,
Rushing from the streets
She reached down to caress the Earth,
I felt her fingers trailing through my hair
The sun sighed at the Earth today
Her tears splashed,
Another soul lost in the well
The sun sighed at the Earth today
Her reflection in the moon
A small cool spark, clasped tightly in my hands
The sun sighed at the Earth today
Her breath of desperation
My breath of joy
While shattering the glass surface of the well
The droplets arching down
Each one a thousand stars upon itself
Children’s laughter patters down
I reach
The droplets, watering the iris of my mind’s eye
I reach into the sun
And she sighs at the Earth today
