thank you Grandmother Sun
for your sacred sweet breath of fire
twisting and swirling through amber arms
that dance us across the galaxies
for your secret array of colors
caught by prism raindrops
unleashed to sprint across the eternal canopy
in sublime translucent beauty
for your warm smile
for your quiet rising
and steady traverse across our ever changing sky
for your compassionate shepherding of our scurrying
with a gentle swish of your paintbrush hair
settling in masterpieces every night
canvasing our evening surmises
for your great love reaching across our human miles
known to you as celestial thought you catch us in
to gather the great unending dream
for growing our crops
for drying my clothes
for clay pots balancing water
for making raisins
for the sweet golden flow
onto the unwritten page of a new day
— shashi light
