Giving Us The Best Tans...

When thou sun rises and brings light to the day,
the moon is already gone because the sun kicked it away,
but when thou sun has finished shining,
thou moon comes with blinding reflections of the one that gave the best tans,
but that is only the shadows of who looks across the lands with pride,
because the moon is not strong enough to deflect the sun,
the sun never breaks it's stride,
it bleeds across the sky,
bringing more devastation to the barren and stripped desert some place,
but growing plants at another area with pace,
the best tans are only on the waves,
on the shore and somewhere where the best tans are,
not in caves,
the whole day you wonder where it goes and you think,
where for art thou the sun,
the nice place to have a drink,
as the light drips into the sky as the world lights up,
giving us the best tans.
