Sol Poem by RIC BASTASA

sol
the sun still brightly shining to the glory
of her husband and two sons
sleepy
from too much work
and yet still manages an email or two
to assure us
that everything is okay,
that life is beautiful
that life is fine
with everyone
wishing me and my wife
to have a vacation somewhere,
well,
sol,
my friend, the sun
may you keep shining
through and through
let the sunshine
come
let the flowers grow
let the grass be greener
as we take
our glimpses too
of the moon
this evening
just the two of us together in silence,
because we are not sleepy yet,
thanks.
