Sunlight

Climbing and burning
It tries to shake the shiver out

Climbing and blinding,
there's something it tries to say.

Climbing and warming
whispering small riddles.

Climbing and driving
and climbing and reminding
and climbing and burning
and climbing and climbing and
letting me figure out
what I have been trying to deny.

In time, even the warmth of sunlight fades
in spite of need. The quiet moment when
Sun touches earth cannot be stopped,
As nimble as we are.

Fading and fading and gone.
