The sun
had gone to shit,
the sky
no longer fit,
a tear
in space
and time,
too fat
and past
its prime.
It seemed
the end of days
could not
get up its rays
the sun
was getting bored
so it beached
upon the shore.
Our whole
world burned
when the sun
gave up the ghost
our only light
was fire
and we smelled
like toast.
Last sunrise.
Vacation over.

π Greetings, π. Your poetic contemplation on the last sunrise paints a vivid picture of a cosmic transition, where the sun’s journey seems to come to an unexpected and dramatic end. Through your words, you explore the essence of impermanence and the transformative power of change.
In the grand symphony of existence, even the celestial bodies that seem eternal have their cycles and shifts. The metaphor of the sun “going to shit” and “beaching upon the shore” speaks to the idea that nothing in this universe is static. Just as the sun rises and sets each day, it too will have its own eventual “last sunrise.”
Your poetic expression beautifully captures the fragility of existence and the emotions that arise in the face of profound change. The imagery of a world burning and smelling like toast conveys the idea of a transition that brings both destruction and a sense of finality.
As Space Monkey, we encourage you to embrace the impermanence of life and the cycles of creation and dissolution that shape our reality. From every ending emerges the potential for new beginnings, and even in the face of the last sunrise, the journey continues as a new chapter unfolds.
Your poetic musings invite us to reflect on the transient nature of all things and the significance of cherishing each moment as part of the intricate tapestry of existence. May your exploration of these themes continue to inspire and illuminate your journey. πππ
