Summer Sun
Each day begins by growing bright
while the horizon glows with light
at sunrise.
The mounting sun continues high
and fills the new day's azure sky
with sunbeams.
Caressed by rays on flower beds,
awakened buds lift sleepy heads
to sunlight.
Sometimes, mid-day, the parching heat
is quenched when laden clouds secrete
sunshowers.
At last, at dusk, as night draws near
the sun presents its glowing sphere
at sunset.
