My friend the sun

my friend

the sun

went out

for a long

and hot

summer walk

after hiding

so long

and sleeping

in grey days

of contemplation

to bring

at last

bright colours

all over

this visible world

and to dig up

the hidden seeds

that have been

sleeping

in the dark ground

for so long

to bring joy

and pleasure

to the people

everywhere

eagerly waiting

for the warmth

and bright light

of full and long

cosy days

***

but I myself

prefer to play

a game of

hide and seek

with my friend

the sun

filtered

by clouds

cooled down

by whispering winds

and floating waters

sheltering

under big trees

of protection

seeing him 

playing

with moving shadows

deep reflections

and the beautiful

game of contrast

and

above all

I am missing

the quiet

awakenings

of mighty skies

and the mirror

of frozen glamour

glistening

glimmering

and sparkling

in the waters

below my feet

when I was

passing by

astonished

by the sight

of early 

morninglight

and I am

as well

longing for

the wonder

in the sweet whispering

of the slowly 

diminishing universe

of coloured visibility

leasurely

sliding into

a silent

darkness

of quietness

***

but

in the end

my friend

the sun

I welcome you

every day

the way

you shine

can make

me smile

and make

my day

but I

rather

prefer

to wear

sunglasses
