In the moment before dawn
The Sun stole a kiss
And all the air from the wet lung of the earth left her as she sighed
Then seconds later
The golden rays spread out wide suffusing her surface with well being
I felt it and smiled as I ran
The warm fingers of sunlight creeping over my shoulder
The pleasure received from warmth in winter
Reminds us
We are merely small animals here
The Gods of the planets rule our atmosphere
And is the reason the Sun has been revered
Forever
*photos mine. I’ve been on a monochrome bender for days. I thought it would wear off, not yet. Winter here so we seek the sun. In summer we will again hide our heads and cover our eyes. Australia is a land of extremes.
