Frail humanity

It wavered on the horizon

before deciding to go on,

but when it came, it did not stop

until it reached the very top.

The sun shone down upon the earth,

springing the day from its berth,

and forcing it to join the fun

of the new hour that had begun.

But somewhere in a snug warm bed

a frail body lay still and dead;

as if cocooned from the day’s embrace,

it turned away its weary face.

Still, in another house a child would cry

as it looked upon the bright new sky

and it would rush out to take part

in this gloriously reborn start.

The sun did not stop to contemplate

if it was early, or if it was late;

it began its journey along a route,

where the expected end was understood.
