Chasing the Sun

I choose to follow the sun
An elusive thing
Leaving little droplets of beauty to the fools
But to an open heart
A path to everlasting righteousness
As Rah is the guide
The beast shall be tamed
Any element endured
And upon reaching the end of the Earth
I shall dangle my toes from the edge
Throw back my arms and neck
Give myself fully
To the one that chooses me
To brown my skin
To feather my soul
And with tears of enlightenment
And undaunted conviction
I shall acknowledge to the Heavens aloud
I am here
For love
