While I was sleeping
sunlight traveled
93 million miles
in 8.6 seconds
to begin the day
at the Strait of Hormuz.
Hours later, when I awakened
sunlight streamed low
over treetops.
I arose to begin
my Pennsylvania morning.
No one owns sunlight.
Every single day on Earth,
the same miracle happens.
It is free.
That Lucky Old Sun, is the way Louie Armstrong tells it. We can count on the sun to roll around heaven all day. Lucky we are to walk in sunshine.
