Distant, large, yellow and warm
Giving light to the life on the farm
Nuclear, gaseous, brilliant and hot
And from her, directions can be sought
Absorbing, illuminating, we are dependent
And I can’t believe I am a defendant
Dangerous radiation, a harmful ray
Not right now, maybe someday
Some celebrate the solstice
some hide from the rain
I just live for any weather
for it is not Nature that brings me pain
Simmering, searing, I say bring it on
Never fear, however, the day is almost done
The Indian wind, a Gypsy breeze
Sometimes, it’s all just a tawdry tease
Without the Sun, there would be no ease
Still, our mother Sol hangs above the trees
