    EVEN THE SUN..

even the sun

takes a day off from time to time.

the wind pulls out an old gray blanket, 

spreads it across the wide sky,

the sun calls in sick, 

then smiling, reads a bit

and takes a nap..

let clouds own this day

cooling our ambitions, 

if needed,

let rain convince us

to stay indoors,

drinking tea, playing hooky,

playing cards 

with another refugee from sweat and toil

or even all by ourselves.
