Untitled (The Sun?)

by Aeryn - Aries

The grass glistened as the dew
was illuminated by the sun
who rose,
hesitantly at first,
as if afraid of cruel judgement,
and embarrassment,
then seemingly quicker,
as if encouraged by it's welcoming,
and it rose,
reflecting and supposedly growing,
clear reflections,
and sleepy heads awakening.
And yet, 
in all it's glory,
in it's rising proud and true,
it could not stop the shadows
could not cure the darkness,
and so it quickly vanishes,
leaving but a memory,
to reflect somewhere else,
and hope that one day maybe,
the shadows will be vanquished

Reason for writing:

    I wrote this really late at night, when i was trying to fall asleep and couldn't. The rhythm to this one is sort of the way i think, in fragments and all mixed up.  I'm not really all that sure why i wrote about the sun though...
