Every morning like fine clockwork
Till the solar system’s movements cease
Powering this planet’s extensive life
The original celestial timepiece
With natural energy like a mother’s love
Each day overflows with majestic surprises
Blue sky or behind the darkest of clouds
From across the cosmos the sun always rises
Earth life feasts on her generous rays
Always moving yet no hourly gong or chime
Just steady progress in brightening the sky
It’s okay to watch, she’s not bashful in her climb
On a cold dark blustery afternoon
The sting of winter’s long subjection
Washes aside a tiny peak of sunlight
The wind slicing through any protection
March days slowly come running
Melting the last lingering grip of winter
Plant life awaiting the moment to strut
Bursting upward like an overdue sprinter
Every year the heat feels more thrilling
Like a moth, drawn close but not burned
The orb soothes the ache and wounded spirit
It’s ardent and teasing nature sorely learned
The sunflower’s eager face turns skyward
A Geosyncronous dance with the light
In summer the planet is lovingly showered
As God’s kiss of life takes lustrous flight
