Won’t allow the sun to fade before it promises the dreams to break the shackles
Waiting to listen to more stories, inspiring, but still struggling to stay afloat
They decline to accept defeat, each heartbeat reminds the soul of unfinished stories
Hoping to view the unfiltered beauty of nature, experience the passionate expanse of life
Away from the influence of mechanical clocks, the schisms of a society, a sinking feeling
Sometimes they arrive in a rush, as if smoothening the rough edges of culture
Fallow orchards will be planted with healthy trees again, fruits of labor, pushing the sunset a little
Before the quieter season envelopes the landscape, allow a bite of the sweetest fruits
Plead with the sun, imagine the journey is beyond the sunset, will be a new beginning
