Dies Solis

“Keep your face to the sun and you will never see

the shadows.”--Helen Keller.

It’s a humungous glob

of hot plasma,

a yellow dwarf star.

Even the blind

see the sun ,

and they use it

for orientation.

It has been both

worshipped and despised;

its rays burn skin,

and cause cancer.

It’s a seductress,

but not my friend.

Glenn Buttkus
