Permanent Sunlight

By Yariel Luna

Oh, radiant orb, forever bright 
Endless days and endless night
No stars to twinkle in the sky
No moon to watch the oceans high

The world’s forever bathed in light
A never-ending, shining sight
A world that never knows the dark
Where shadows never leave their mark

But what of sleep and deep repose?
Of restful nights and dreamy doze?
Of tucking in at the end of day
And slipping into dreams of play?

Perhaps this world of constant sun
Would make us restless, never done
Unable to relax and rest
Our bodies in a constant test
