SUN SIGN

I spin around the sun
wonder what becomes of age
when night crawls under
the window sash

I spin around the sun

for as long as I can

until mirrors no longer reflect

anything but the light

I spin around the sun

standing still sometimes

under stars confusing life

with anything but right

I spin around the sun

like a child who knows no age

I take my time and meet the gaze

of night when it comes

I spin around the sun

with love in my arms

on a warm summer morning

when songs come without warning

I spin around the sun

make my way in the day

like I have for many lifetimes

like I will for many nights
