12. THE FLAMING SUN

Red rays of sunlight peep through my window,

focusing a path of mystic beauty,

shimmering into a pool of darkness,

falling directly in my wide open eyes,

tracing a look of abstract fear,

absorbing flimsy shells of courage,

deserting me in a state of speechless exuberance.

the flaming sun i see,

resembles the door of a fresh heart,

throbbing with a mild intensity,

red and gracious in color,

filtering burdened pores of intricate mind,

for a renewal of liveliness,

and powerful glints of hope astride.

the blazing Sun behind me,

pats my back and says,

i want to come down, sit beside you my friend,

to enjoy this world from close quarters,

and lo! behold he is racing down,

his size has shrunken to a podded pea,

the world has turned upon him like a bee,

for if he comes down on earth,

who will give them courage and antiseptic light,

they would be left solitary on ground,

with dampness of humanity to surround.
