Fun Sun

into the light, we gaze
as if crazed by religion,
but dark glasses protect
and we are thankful
for our purchases;

into the light, we place
our bodies...
hoping the rays will
turn them bronze,
without understanding
the harm that is done;


into the light, we turn
our attention since the
beauty of the moment
cannot be expressed
anywhere else at all;

into the light, we take
the good with the bad
on equal terms as the
end of summer draws
and what we have
achieved in a few short
weeks will disappear.
