[Names Ash Housewares]

Humans are only beginning to understand her rhythms. Our puny human lifespans and written history but a blink of an eye to Sol.

Great image. A thumbnail to the full image would be good.

"Humans are only beginning to understand her rhythms. Our puny human lifespans and written history but a blink of an eye to Sol."

I'm relieved to see that at least someone else has thought of the Sun as female. Most seem to get caught up on the masculine name Sol...

I portrayed the Sun as being a performer.

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