The Sun
The day begins with you
Unconditionally nourishing life
Filling us with warmth & light
Initiating growth all around us
Slivers bounce across the waves
Fishermen awaken to your first rays
Sand crabs scurry back home
Dolphins playfully breaching as one
Remaining snow melts in honor of you
Feeding a trickle, then a stream
Caressing the land, feeding all
Life’s water, liquid soul
Expanding across the plains
Tractors guided by your morning light
Tickling the plants born by you
Sending worms under ground
This cycle begins anew each day
Taken for granted by humankind
Creating false clouds, forsaking you
Forgetting from where life begins
No matter where we are
Your light and joy radiate
Depths of soul you reach
Unconditional love you teach
