As a boy

I begged the sun to wait.

To stay hidden in the clouds patiently.

As I swore at the moon.

"I hate you"

The sun sat in the clouds.

Watching as I ran through

a neighboring yard.

When I stopped to gather myself,

I searched.

The sky above me was blue.

The clouds had left, taking the sun from me.

Leaving me with stars.

And like clockwork,

The street lights turn on

Calling me home.
