The Sun God

..sometimes is just a regular person

like you and me, 

just a finite shape, experiencing more excitable

days and less,

spots, flares, storms,

days of being clouded and covered, unnoticed and unfelt

by anyone, semi-alone on her galaxy path 

her far-flung pebble children so self-absorbed, 

and regularly, at intervals, she even

goes totally upside-down inside,

weathering awkward inner reversals, 

stoic and irrational.

I’m worshipping this god too, I’m thankful 

for this god too, as well as the other,

life-giving, light-giving, 

source of everything,

one,

steady or not.
