What is in a sunrise?

how fair it is to say
that in the Holy Book we’re told
the Sun came AFTER the very first day

without the Sun, without the stars,
was made Light, and the Light was good.
a Light still hoping to be understood.

without the Sun grew the grass with seed
the trees brought forth fruit
and for the Sun was yet no need.

then came the Sun on day number four
to give us Time in seasons, days, and years.
to leave us always wanting more
when loved ones leave us in our tears.

what a very simple thought.
the Sun will rise ’til it does not.

we each will see our end of days
then all days will end.
but Hope is spoken in each Sunrise
that we will meet again, Friend.
