The sunlight fades in
night’s approach from afar
The morning’s dawn and light
played in reverse
Two spools of day slowly
trading places
A
pool of hopes trickling like drops of rain to the earth
And slinking back again without ever touching the ground
The stream plays in reverse, bubbling up rocks and over ground
The world left behind
sad without tears
Tomorrow the sun will rise again, the reels moving forward
As the world remembers
