This is the first poem I’ve written in a while. It came to me in a dream. A man singing a song that began with the line “the sun slides down” as he strummed an acoustic guitar.
The sun slides down
Darkening the world around
I’m lost and found
Nowhere to stand but with my feet on the ground
I’m trying to tell you how I feel
Cant you see that this is real
The sun slides down down
The sun will rise
Inevitably like the tide
There’s comfort there
One thing to rely on in a world on fire
I’m trying to tell you what I see
Aren’t you listening to me
The sun slides down down
The sun slides down down
It’s getting dark all around
Darkness coming from every side
Inevitable as the tide
Darkness seeping into my bones
Oh lord I don’t want to be alone
The sun slides down
Darkening the world all around
I’m lost and found
I’m still standing here on the ground
Beautiful
