The Sun

The sun is certainly ‘The Star of the Show',
Yet, it goes unnoticed by most, even though,
without it, nothing, including us, could grow.

I look forward to when the day has begun,
to invite the delicious warmth of the sun
inside of me, where we become as one.

Sunshine cheers us and it inspires us to play.
The sun takes away darkness and gives us day.
Its light is the deity to which I pray.

It widens our scope and quiets the ego.
It lifts our thoughts to the highest they can go.
When it sets, it leaves us with colors aglow.

Watching the sunrise or sunset, we can be
enlightened by its golden reality.
The sun’s rays feel like God’s arms reaching to me.

Too much, I'm sidetracked by the mundane, I'd say,
and therefore, forgetting that I'm on my way
home to the holy land, the sun, someday.
