Follow the sun

Sunset from
Mt Wombat, Victoria.
Said she I’ll follow the sun
and when the following is done
I will have my release

Said he I’ll wait for you
and when the waiting is done
together we’ll find peace

She followed the sun
and followed the sun
never finding the end of her quest

He watched the horizon
every day of the week
every evening again dispossessed

The sun never shirked
its purpose lighting the day
rising and setting as it should

This man and this woman
staked their futures on the sun
but it’s purpose they never understood
