It was a minute too late-
She woke as the sun was rising-
it was well above the sea
when she looked out the window.
Tried as much as she could,
but the sun didn't budge.
The moon faded away in the horizon-
Just a wisp of the memory that was night.
With the moon long gone,
the sun fully risen,
Soon it was time for breakfast,
and she had one less day to live.
