the sun, as it rises and falls, 
cannot but let the moment shine

but as it passes, 
and the day turns to night, 

that moment is gone 

can it ever retract this ray of light? 
it cannot but it does pass, 
it does pass, 
and it cannot be got back...

yet the next moment, 
the next moment comes, 
and it does come, 
like a drum beat, 
like a heart beat, 
insistent and forthright
