The Sun Rises

Luis Jimenez

Only once every day

can you watch the sun rise,

out of fields in the east

and over mountains in the west-

only once every day

can you watch the sun rise.

Are you cliché like me?

Do you look up at the moon-

in hopes that a person you love,

is looking up at it too?

Those feelings are valid-

you’re not alone,

we have more in common

than you currently know.

So save a moment to gaze up,

at the star that we share-

for time shows no mercy

to those that don’t care.

After all only once every day,

can you watch the sun rise.
