The Diversion

The Sun had set aside 
Diverted 
Towards its own light,
Probably,
The earth thought so.

Turning away the face
Leads to the illusion,
That the Sun has left us,
Only to know
It comes back every morning
When you turn around.

It has not seen a diversion in years,
The tyres of the car have not 
Known another way,
It blinks all the light it has to 
Say
When, with the fullness of the voice,
When we already know that,
We can hardly say,
We stay silent 
Focused, straight and on the way.
