The end of day comes
when the light fades so quickly
Turned my back again!
Tomorrow I vow
to keep watch vigilantly
for the last sundrop.
I'll race then outside
with a cup, palms in prayer
catch it and drink deep.
The Moon grows fuller
in two days time it will be
dripping sleeplessness.
And rest assuredly
I'll get no sleep that long light
in homage a la lune!
