Basking

when the rain has stopped
falling
down
upon
our 
heads---
we see people flocking out &
under the sun to
collect the
beams
to
bathe in the
vitamin d
to
flee the seasonal affective
disorder (SAD)
which may have started to set in
when the serotonin
has increasingly been
depleting in the brain
during the winter & the fall.

you can see folks dance 
& the fact that vitamin d staves off 
many cancers
doesn’t exactly hurt---
an added bonus to longer days 
& 
a host full of laughs &
good
feelings---
as hallmark ©
greeting card-ish as that sounds,
it is pretty obvious to anybody
that when the sun comes out
some frowns settle down
&
surrender to the
smile---
at least for a while.
