The Powerful Sun

ALL POWERFUL SUN by JOHN M. ARRIBAS All hail, praise to the powerful sun It has commanded: the day has begun Powerful streams of energy begin to flow The once obscured, begin now to glow The myriad of hues no longer hidden Exposed to view, blindness forbidden Powerful streams of energy take over the show Steam rises from the jungles, a continuos flow Displacing passive air, causing currents to grow Movements now circulating, this side’s on the go The opposite side, hundred and eighty degrees away Exhausted from the pounding has called it a day The ever constant sun, now puts on a display Dew evaporates, leaves open, flowers ballet Grasses are swaying, clouds eschew the gray Animals are stirring, birds chirping away The day has started , commencing interaction The human contingent now swings into action The bartering begins, let the trading commence Exchanging goods n services for dollars n cents Time out for a repast, as we encounter noon Restaurants and cafes cater. And not to soon Action continues, coins exchanging hands Closing hour approaches across the land Its been a successful day at all the stores Stock market hit a new high, investors roar There’s covert business conducted out of sight Sordid transactions: under the cover of night The light has faded, the powerful sun heads west Bathe in tranquility, give it a rest.
