Chasing the Sun
The day is almost over,
the journey is almost done.
I see you beyond the horizon,
untouchable, for you are above the stars.
You are now higher than your hills,
Certainly, we know you’ve conquered them all.
We both started this journey
with similar dreams,
to rise, and then set in the West.
“Small is beautiful,” they say,
if only we would listen and stay,
we could make the best out of today.
It must be beautiful
how you rise to shine,
no one would ever imagine the work
you put in at the other side,
no one values your worth
when you’re down,
they forget you can turn gold
over time.
You’re now at the peak,
and might have gotten ahead,
but there’s one thing I know;
Everything that rises goes down
in the end,
and if you happen to get there before me,
know I’ll be right behind you,
always.
