A Grateful Ode To The Sun
I love the Sun
I love to feel it
I love to see it
I love to know it’s there
I’m not a tanner,
blithely morphing
into a cancer-ridden handbag
I just want to live
There is nothing about the Sun
that doesn’t improve any day,
the Aztecs had that right
If you are going to
do weird things in the name
of something beyond yourself,
at least make it the Sun
Even the biggest fool,
with his or her head
buried the deepest in pretend,
would agree to understand
that the Sun is
the Earth’s everything
It is the sole thing
that if removed
would leave our flying rock
barren of all life
within a fantastically frightening
amount of time
The sole thing
This is an impressive truth
an inarguable, inalienable
and undeniable truth
How many things are this true?
How majestic is that?
It’s not necessary to spill blood
to worship the Sun,
there is no point,
it is
just being
I love the Sun
here on Earth
the Sun is life
primal
shared
it’s your life
you understand
