I want to be ~ the sun

I chased the sun far too long.

Only to realise it was here.

Inside me. Waiting for me.

To touch it, and make it glow.

•

I waited for the sun to rise.

To stream brightest.

Never fueling it from within.

Denying it attention.

That it needed to shine.

•

I wished for sun to settle on me.

So I could turn a star.

While the core was my heart.

Beating to be heard.

Telling me, I was the dust.

That makes the sun. This universe grow.

•

I touched the sun finally.

Asking it all these questions.

It hobbled around.

Hiding underneath the shadows.

Unsure of the answers.

As they lay with me.

Not with it.

•

I stopped. Asking it to stop too.

Just for a minute before twilight.

Will you love me tomorrow?

And allow my consciousness to awake.

It already is.

The sun replied fleetingly.

You are awakening.

And I will be here to witness it.

Everyday.
