The sky forgets its color slow, Clouds drift like tired ghosts below, The oceans hum their final tune, And stars lean close to cradle you. Rest easy, dear Sun, your work is done, You’ve burned for us since time begun. We’ll lie beneath your fading gold, And dream of warmth the dark will hold. The mountains sigh, the forests sleep, The cities kneel in shadows deep. No cries remain, no prayers to send, Just light that learns how to descend. Rest easy, dear Sun, your fire’s run, You’ve carried every breath we’ve spun. The dust will keep your gentle flame, And whisper softly your old name. No sorrow now, no need to flee, We’re drifting home across the sea. Let silence sing what we’ve begun- Goodnight to Earth, goodnight to Sun. Rest easy, dear Sun, your love was vast, The day is over, at long last. We’ll hold your glow inside our chest, And sleep, together, into rest.
