At The End of The Day
At the first sunrise,
a consciousness goes ablaze
when light fills the dark.
The world. A playground.
Curious cub running, climbing,
often stumbling.
With head in the clouds,
fighting against the current
to discover self.
In the prime of life
learning to swim the current
to keep self afloat.
At the last sunset,
only the memories stay
when dark fills the light.
