Just One Big Sun

Just one big sun is in the sky To shower us with light And like things on which we rely, We undermine its might. Unless we see it rise and set, Its beauty’s often missed. To many people, I would bet, It hardly does exist. But when you see it first appear, A’glow in neon pink, It beats the finest chandelier And makes you stop and think… That Nature has the upper hand When majesty’s close by And sunrise really does demand The awe we should supply. So yes, the sun is still the same No matter where you roam, But catching it in morning’s flame We rarely do at home.

I love how well one line blends to the next Ilene. A wonderful dance around the sun.

You have illuminated the importance of a daily reaffirmation of the truth of our existence. I recently seen a picture of that pink sun. I don't recall ever seeing it in reality. Awe inspiring.
