Radiance of the sun
I never tire of your brilliance!
Shine down from your hammock
in the sky.
Swaying in time,
perfectly
Changing positions
with the moon,
a cosmic eternal dance.
Both give light.
One to raise us,
one to lull us to slumber.
Show me the value of each light
When to absorb,
when to reflect,
when to bask,
when to find shade.
Let me see both the simplicity
and the complexity of light.
Let it filter into
and out of my life
on a daily basis.
Never allowing a shadow to stay,
but to materialize from an angle
or lack of light,
only to define the lines and shapes
that need to be seen
at that moment.
And then it dissipates
as it's meant to,
once the sun directs
It's rays on it,
Only to be a fleeting memory.
Dust scattered with the wind
