Saluting The Sun Poem by Sandra Martyres

Your strong light can be blinding
Your sharp rays can cause scalding
You are sometimes blamed for balding
Yet you mellow down before twilight
And paint the sky to our utter delight
With shades of orange red and yellow
In winter they just meld in the background
As you stand out in your supreme glory
A golden ball heading towards the horizon
Then we watch in sheer awe as you disappear
Leaving behind some coloured streaks in the sky
Until darkness falls and the moon takes over
