the sun can kiss...
it can ripen and flourish
the sun can burn...
it can exhaust and destroy
the sun can be the cause of an unlimited source of energy and yet take away anything that you hold tight...
it could be unrelenting, unforgiving, and punishing.
we crave it, curse it, bask in it, and enjoy the feel of its warmth on our skin.
The sun could drench and surround you in all its beauty in the same way a blanket warms the chilled body in the cold of night or the feeling of ones skin pressed against another's, arms and legs intertwined...clinging to each other as if this could be their last moment...the last breath that they take together....

now replace the sun...with love...
