Instead of a dark sun

If the sun should lose its shine

darken this planet of mine,

i might live in a black hole,

become a desperate soul.

Should we all worship the sun

as long as its a bright one?

Perhaps our own gratitude

stems from a bright attitude.

If the sun still shines on me,

that’s the way it ought to be.

There is something in my mind

which leaves the black hole behind.

and the past still looms ahead;

now is the future instead.
