and as the sun rose..

i watched,

knowing that my prsent

that seem so modern so different 

so developed in a changing world that isn't what

it used to be, once upon a time

in the past.

 

I watched the sun rise,

sulleny aware that it did this everyday,

and how many sunrises have I lived,slept and breathed through.

 

and I saw my struggles,

in clearity I prayed for

just like that celestial beam..

I was climbing over mountains

everyday.

I had climbed over.
