Embrace The Sun

Open to the forefront of life

Lay your burdens down in the land of what was forgotten

For I have only seen warriors run towards the sun

While waiting with a smile; hoping to embrace a swift death

To me they are but children playing in the meadow

Waiting for the moon lit night and the calming air of a summer’s sunset

You see

At the end of the day

We all look for rest

Rather it be temporary or everlasting

We all hope for peace

Yet serenity rings in the soul

As one watches the sun raise

And freedom glares on the world

As the dawn of light breaks the horizon

So give yourself to the forefront of life

And lay down your burdens in the land of what was forgotten

For tranquility is not in the hands of fate

But in the act of embracing that moment

When the sun first shines.
