Face of the sun

The rain falls

on a summer’s day

for it doesn’t know

any better.

 *

There is sun in my eyes

so I cannot see

that it is a beautiful morning

where the birds do sing

and the plants do grow

and there’s a bustle going on around me

and that will go on with out me too.

There is sun no more.

 *

Shade hides from the sun

while the clouds hide

from the lakes and rivers

that give them life

and expect life to be given back

but instead get a shape of an elephant

or a bird

or a face they never knew

but that is known

to the right eyes

that hide in the shade

from the sun

and the face too.
