Image for the poem chasing the sun

chasing the sun


he ran out of  
land
chasing the sun
his shadow trailing him
till the last turn
 
the fall, he said
is but part of the way
he must meet the sun
'fore the end of day
 
shadow had no option
followed her master
from the light of his home
to the shade of disaster
 
followed his dream he did
kept chasing the sun
bare feet
full speed
as fast as he could run
 
till he ran out  
of land
with sun  
inches from his hand
 
 
.
