TRICK OF THE SUN
by Sylvi Alli

We run, we hide, we lay in wait
We leave, we stay, we take the bait
We cry, we laugh, we sit in doubt

We rise, we fall, we try to flee
We shed a tear for what can’t be
We stand for what we cannot know

Soon the shadows fall and light the way
Someday we’ll be gone and night
becomes the day

We hunt, we bow, we shrink in fear
We bury dead, we do not hear
We heal the ones that they destroy

Engulfed in our own demise
Like moths to the light we rise
And time’s but a trick of the sun

Soon the shadows fall and light the way
Someday we’ll be gone and night
becomes the day

Soon we’ll reap what we have sown
Reduced to nothing that we own
Time bears the scars of our undoing.
