the sun

[psillocybin]

sometimes i think that the sun
is going to make it's merry way
across the solar system
and push it's way through the mantle
and into the core of Earth.

sometimes i think that the sun
is going to get tired of it's job
of illuminating the entire solar system
and will just say fuck it
and explode.

sometimes i think that the sun
is just a glowing piece of yellow
construction paper carefully
positioned in the sky
to give us hope and make
us think we have warmth.

sometimes i think that the sun
is way too bright for my eyes
and i want it to go away and
other times i'm glad it's there
to put natural highlights in my hair.

sometimes i think that
i shouldn't really be thinking about the sun
it's just there

but, really, you never know when
it won't be.

I love the first two stanzas... they're offbeat and make me smile.

to give us hope and make
us think we have warmth.

This poem gives me hope and makes me feel warm :D

This bit made me laugh out loud! I pictured the sun sitting there after another hard day thinking, fuck it, let's see if these ungrateful planets can get by on their own. Priceless. I love the flippant nature of the poem.

But I just love this whole poem, in so many ways.

I find a lot of parallels in life within your words, this being the part to stand out the most... kind of makes me want to appreciate things a lot more, and not take so much for granted. Good piece!
