Sunshine, is welcome

But sometimes not,

When it gets too hot

For human comfort.

This fiery star

Heeds no one,

Choosing at times, to disappear

When we’d rather it not.

The sun shines,

And nature responds,

So too, the usually invincible human;

Our rythms and routines

Circadian or mundane,

Are set to follow

The powerful sun.

Sun shines,

Man cannot but abide

By this simple fact;

Man cannot control

What he cannot.

Every creature bidden

To stay hidden,

To escape man’s wrath,

Is but one ray away

From holding sway

And shining with power,

No longer seeking cover;

For it’s man who must,

As he would just

Seek the shade,

When the sun shines.
