Each new sun emits the same light,
But the varying hues appeal
To my singular sense of direction.
The same golden orb rises and falls
Beyond an endless borderline.
I am a sick beast in a cage,
I am a dog running in my sleep,
I lunge to catch that bouncing glow,
To keep it hidden.

After so many miles in your shadow,
The best has been to join your name with mine,
An experience in a suffix.
Your dreams became my dreams,
Your vision filled my empty eyes.
Now this cage is the cage of my ribs
Holding ice packed hard
Around a sentiment preserved,
Chasing the unattainable sun.
