Sun

I rise with the sun

and watch as pink bathes the sky

a goddess of life

the sun smiles on earth

and spreads her light over us

chasing back shadows

we left in the night

we dance in renewed colors

now we forget fear

the sun gives us warmth,

energy to be lovers,

laughers, and hopers.

the sun climbs higher

hides in clouds, then peeking out

in her blue playground

the last ray of gold

is a promise, a whisper:

"I will be back soon."
