"Now Darks, everybody knows the sun is a HE."

Perhaps not everyone...

A Star In The Family

The Sun cannot see us where we are,
She’s blinded by the footlights,
She slowly shows why she’s a star,
Knowing nothing of closing nights.

Turning her graceful somersaults,
In tempered, measured grace,
Somewhere deep in memory’s vaults,
She sees each childlike face.

As we tug gently on apron-strings,
Reminding of our presence,
Ignoring our distractings,
She glows with inner pleasance.

The act goes on, as always,
Small matter of her loss.
She always has her sunny days,
And fiery arcs to toss.

The Sun is a good mother,
She keeps her hatchlings warm,
Volatile may be another,
But she has kept her form.

A stellar performance so blinding,
Her fire is not a pretend,
Her sacrificed life is unwinding,
With lonely old age at its end.
