Listen To the Sun

Ignorance is bliss or so they say But I was enlightened in a colorful way In a silent conversation with our old friend The sun told me this at yesterdays' end He was glowing dark red in an angry display For the constant pollution while we worked and played Blended red and yellow showing orange disgust A colorful sign of his negative distrust Then passionate red for the love he shares An approving gesture he thinks we still care His friendship was kissed with a touch of pink Reminding us all to stop and think A moody dark purple of sadness and gloom Fair warning try harder or we'll all be doomed Then splashes light purple for days gone by Feeling nostalgic for clear blue skies As his dark blue of power turned to black Leaving hope for tomorrow that he'd be back Now that I've told you of all I have learned Don't you think we should all be more seriously concerned If you don't believe me and still wear a frown Then tomorrow just listen as the sun goes down an original poem by the "poemdog" Daniel Turner
