To respect the sun
My body climbed a hill
to watch the sun sink
My mind was led astray
Down from the sky
To a sea of responsibility
The sun was keen
To my tarnished awe
Reflected in her colors
I saw my apathetic presence
Slowly my mind
Came up for air
As my body
Climbed down the hill
To let her set in peace

I really like the poignancy and serenity here. You’ve captured quite the moment.
Visceral imagery. Experience depicted is personally relatable. My presence is not always sustained, my mind wanders in the meantime, and I miss the sunset. If I was fully present, then I would show respect to the sun. Beautiful writing and impressive word choice. Grateful you are participating in Lexpomo. Be well
