it pulls to the edge of the world
as we race to the edge of the land
our feet sink into white sands
as the sun sinks into the sea
rippling emerald waters
stretched out before us
converging with the sky
in the curve of the horizon
glowing orange in the distance
growing darker every minute
and here rotation slows
existing in the deep glow
we let it linger, we let it burn
further in our flesh, further in our minds
leaving its mark, scarring inside
its radiance engulfed by the tide
saturating all our senses
the light turning us blind
we are consumed by infinite space
our atoms ablaze in flames of the sun
