I wait...
I close my eyes
Breathing in the sea
Standing all alone
My feet in sand beneath me
I wait...
Nature fills my ears
Waves applaud close by
Seagulls cackle like witches
As I stretch towards the sky
I wait...
I feel her warming glow
She ignites a brand new day
Her energy revives me
She will be mine for a moment today
I wait...
I raise my arms into the air
Standing firm upon the sands
Just for this one sacred moment
Where I hold the sun between my hands
She is power
She is strength
She is the bringer of light
She replenishes the earth
She is a candle burning bright
I gently blow her from my hands
She rises high above me
I release her for she is not mine to keep
But for all the world to see
