Dear Sun

-------Dear Sun-------
(dated July 4)

The dusk has grown quiet,
dear Sun,
since your height was reached
and descent begun.

A nation remembers
a history written,
but the heart knows truths
remain still hidden.

There are treaties to honor,
reparations to pay
and fears to forgive
along the way.

It is to this we are rising
and with you we fall.
Because love and honesty
will free us 
all.
