Our volatile sun
elemental brother
we’re in awe of you
your fiery upsets outshine
our greatest eruptions
No great flood could touch you
We cannot meet, even halfway
You intensely contribute
under duress, your energy
formation’s brunt within
release your stores
our warmth, water, standards
Our escaping world, which
eventually could outrun
Your extended, warm hold cuddles us
while your stalwart presence pushes us
away hot / cold
Sustenance, you bring us up
through your incompetence
We survive, perhaps dread the day
you may catch up; we admire your suggestive
Waving through our shield, casting
Aurora’s colorful shows; we adore
not without warning
