Photosynthesis


“From the beginning of time man has yearned to destroy the sun!”

Monty Burns The Simpsons

 

The soul is not an energy

but a master there of,

in goes the porcupine

and out comes the dove.

While owing all its creator above,

the soul is not an energy

but a producer-

of love.

 

Plants can do nothing without the sun,

just as we can do nothing without God,

and all the while there are things growing

in the sod.




Sundries


In the baking sun,

there is a sign with white paint and red letters

that says “Sundries.”

The white paint seems to be dripping,

like vanilla melting,

like a baby with a bottle

they are quietly sipping.




Sunblock


To find “A Place in the Sun,”

I felt like a ghost with no sunblock,

letting go of etheria,

to be one who is not everything,

yet has feelings

and can be hurt and find joy,

less than the sky,

but more than a toy.

Sun The sun barks our neighbors awake. It scares away the terrified hissing fog then keeps barking  and will not stop.
