A salute to the sun



We wait
For you to come
And when we can’t
Bear it
Anymore
Surrendering
To the darkness
You appear
Your gentle touch
Embodies hope
And brightness
In each ray

Ever so slowly
You rise
Offering
Your full embrace
Each cell in our bodies
Awaken with your
Warmth and energy

You give
All of yourself
Sometimes it’s
Just too much
We retreat from your
Burning intensity
And power
To find shelter and
Protection

But you are careful
To lower your gaze
You soften
And leave a trail
Of lingering heat and
Beauty

And when you
Eventually disappear
Your non-presence
Is felt
As you allow
Others to stir
and shine

Welcoming again
The mystery of the night
We can only close our eyes
And trust in
Your return
Before too long

Oh that's just lovely. A perfect description of a drawing in, of the year drawing to a close, and even a lifetime coming towards it's ending. and then beginnings all over again. What a perfect day 1st August being a Celtic fire day, honouring the female sun.
