‘Rising Sun’

Can we ever own

anything

that won’t own us back

 

Can we ever say

anything

we’ll never retract

 

Can we dream

in the future

while freeing the past

 

Can we give

without taking

not first ever last

 

Can the reasons

become us

excuses be damned

 

Can fidelity

triumph

the truth in demand

 

When sleep

reawakens

its light shining through

 

Today and

tomorrow

— forever anew
