Sunrises and Stories (Under the Moon)

We basked under the moon

SOURCE

And traced the ring around it

The nights were too long

When we waited for the dawn

But too short when we started spinning

stories

Of how the Americans ‘SPAM-med” us

Of how numbers count

Of how hot chocolate tastes better

With marshmallows

Than without

Of how life hangs by a thread

And how I thread words

Of how you see a forest in a seed

And how I see a mango in it

Of how this world should be educated

And our hearts be pruned

Of how risks must be calculated

But always make time for an ice cream on a cone

You like to watch the sun rise

I, the break of dawn

They are timed differently

But share the same Horizon
