I’ve heard them say
That the sun is conscious
As kids
We draw our suns with a smile
I always drew mine with sunglasses
Maybe
I did think that the sun was alive
Maybe I assumed
The sun gives so much life to this earth
Is she just a giver
And never a receiver of life?
That doesn’t seem fair
That isn’t balanced
We should be grateful for the sun
Like many of the cultures of the past
Who worshiped her
We should always draw the sun with a big smile
And big sunglasses
We should feel the warmth on our skin
And thank our stars
That the sun suspends up there
And shines down on us
But too often these days
We take her for granted
There seems to be a lot of woman in my life
That I’ve been taking for granted
But I think I’ll start fixing that
By stretching in the sun
And I'll imagine my sun in the sky
with a smile and sunglasses
Checking me out
As I do downward dog
And I will be grateful that she is watching over me.
-C.H.
