Early morning drive

The moon no longer exists,

And the sun insists it shouldn’t either.

But the sun is a heavy breather

The smell of its morning breath

The smell of the moons premature death

Wakes us from out our slumber

Under which we could see

What has yet to be.

Our dreams have died

And none of the actors cried.

They did not know

They had no time.

They’re lost forever in sea of synapses of the mind.

The characters might appear again,

But to what end?

I guess it matters not,

They end so quickly they will soon be forgot.

During the days

The suns harsh rays

Conveys it’s sad reality.

Life is hard, brutal and uncaring.

It’s eyes are constantly staring.

Staring with malice and contempt.

No on is exempt.

No one can escape it's wrath

As we all must walk the same dreary path.

The moon is of a different sort.

A retort to the suns façade.

It cries with us.

Not compelled to seem tough.

It knows how the days are rough.

It’s sympathy are clearly shown.

A face in constant groan.

Eye’s open but vacant are all that’s shown.

It too had a hard day

And dare I say

It’s of a kinder lot.

That lets us dream of what we’ve not.

Dreams we so sorely need

To get us through the days at hand.
