Wet Kiss

Have you ever watched a sunrise?

A sunset?

Perhaps on the same day?

Then stop deceiving yourself.

The Sun has never risen,
nor has it ever set.

It is merely the Earth
that rotates in ecliptic circles
to the east
as it is pulled
in ecliptic circles
around the Sun,

As the Sun itself
is just a point of light,
reaching out from a spiraled arm
of the spinning cosmos of the Milky Way.

Humble your dizzy self
before the next tidal wet kiss
of Moon's embrace upon the shores
of the sum total of your life's work.

Now you just go ahead with your life–

Get a good nights sleep,
arise early to watch one more sunrise,

dance and spin like you're five years old again,

and make sure to stick around for one more sunset...

But this time,
when you feel the Earth
move beneath your feet...

You just might find something.... other than a rational explanation.
