FROZEN SIDE OF THE SUN
FROZEN SIDE OF THE SUN
Everything has two sides, you will find
That which is thought hot can still hide
A secret, to be concealed as a priority
Yet is shared, only with a favoured few
And offering quite an unexpected view
And never made visible to the majority
Could even the sun have its frozen side
Such an illogical concept, for any mind
A pleasant nature, full of warm feelings
Can, when in an alternate manifestation
Turn suddenly, and expose a soul of ice
But which is the more true, one may ask
Without any hot sun under which to bask
Perhaps it is an artifice or a clever device
And in its complexity, needs explanation
Posing a challenge to all further dealings
If the mask has dropped, truth has begun
I wonder what might lurk behind a smile
Perhaps it is somewhat like a refrigerator
Warm outside, that keeps the inside cold
A heart of ice shards, or maybe it’s gold
As either a furry puppy or scaly alligator
In determining which, ignore any denial
As there may be a frozen side of the sun
