from where you are

What does the sun look
like from where you are?
Is it turning red as it sets
and dances in the wind?

From where I am right now
it weeps as it sets,
taking with it a ray
of happy days.
I see it set
a hundred times each day.
But I never see it rise...

How many times
does your sun wake
from where you are?
Does it bring with it
some promise?

I wish we see
that same king
no matter the distance...
it would make my heart
feel less ignorant,
and less alone...
