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

Thanks for visiting!
It’s full cloudy here today, on the southern Crosstimber/Prairie region of the U.S., which is 20+ degrees ‘cooler’ (at 80°F this morning) than it’s been in more than a month.
We’re too far south to enjoy the silver lining of sun’s solar flares dancing in the night. Aurora borealis, aka northern lights, polar lights: images only available by media to grace our sights down South.
Maybe one day?
Our volatile sun
elemental brother
We’re in awe of you
Your fiery upsets outshine
our greatest eruptions
Not even our floods could touch you
We cannot meet, not even halfway
Though you brightly contribute
under duress, your energy
formation’s brunt absorbed
release your stores
our warmth, our water, our standards
An escaping world, which
eventually, could outrun
your reach—your extended arms
Caressing us; sweet warmth
remind us your stalwart presence
you push us away, we run from you
Hot / cold / as anyone
Bring us up, food, sustenance
Association supports us
We dread the day you may catch up
while we admire your suggestive signaling
so far as to cast Aurora’s colorful shows
Adoring, not without warning!
