The Tourist
They say following
the sun is truly a
journey of conviction.
A stead-fast walk—
where this warmth resides.
To follow this ideal that
there is unwavering
gratitude for consistency.
Yet this path is never endless.
A gentle reminder that
only illumination is transient.
That there will always be
an inevitable counterpart.
An absence to teach us
endurance. A quiet acceptance
of existence where the two
intertwine and show us a
moment worth living.
You see,
the sun, though revered,
chooses not to sustain endless light.
It’s balance tempered only by nightfall -
With a truth that rests on the
interplay of opposites.
