A Lesson to be Learned

We swivel towards a sweet release

to what is seemingly a moment of peace.

Deprived of a clear end in mind,

our light will never truly shine.

A sunflower knows what is best,

turning towards vitality; lest,

they shrivel up and die.

For this, the sun is very kind.

And yet, our sun is unknown,

for humans are uncommonly prone

to the destruction of what they most love,

for they do not value their steadfast sun.

Admiration, success, and opulence

come with quite a chance.

Their light is blinding, yet not true.

What we desire most is not new.
