The Warming Sun
The Warming Sun
By Danny C. Wash
The bright sun’s warming rays
on this cold mid-winter day
began 93 million miles away
as the sun’s gasses leap & twirl
exploding into heat & unfurl
into rays of brilliant white light
that shoots through miles of space
into my back without leaving a trace
except for the wonderful warm feeling
of heat as it stirs the blood & healing
of my aching stiff back from the cold.
My dog looks at me standing there old
in the warm sun and gives me his stare
as only he can when it’s time to eat.
All of this wonder around us of heat
& light but all he wants is his bowl of meat.
Anyway, the sun is melting into the earth,
as darkness creeps in giving the cold its new birth.
So, in I go turning up my furnace for all its worth.
