Sun Blessed

To look intently into you almost renders me blind And yet, your daily illumination provides the clearest view I'll ever find I saw you differently recently Through a prism of glass your rays, tinted at the rim mirroring your energy mass Upon further inspection I tried to count each vertical wave the heat almost permeated the glass with each surge of warmth that you gave Approaching too closely will deem total annihilation Yet you are life, announcing another new day of hopeful elation I forget that you provide such strength How kind of you to remind me as you bathe my glistening skin morning star gleaming upon my body Quench my thirst as I drink of thee Nourish me with the heat of every ray Even as red and orange merge with yellow signaling the end of yet another day Hydrogen burning into helium That's how you shine like gold Gaseous orb aflame like a fire ball Such a brilliant spectacle to behold Paying homage to your elements such an essential component of my birth Sun, I embrace you Shedding light upon this earth.
