THE SUN RISES


On a bench watching the sun rise
You came and sat next to me
I didn’t know your name
But at this moment
I have known you forever
We are searchers together
The sun coming over
The horizon peeking into the sky
Colors red and blue mixing
I hear you sigh
Or was that me
I can’t tell anymore
I turn to you
You are gone
In a time we were one
Now the world is
As it always is
Shared then alone
