Today I thought about sunlight.
About the smooth strength it gives.
I thought about how it hides the stars.
And gently wakes me in the morning.
I thought about how it inhabits our lives.
How at every meal I eat sunlight,
filtered down through stems and roots and leaves.
I thought about my toes digging into warm sand.
And still,
somehow
I miss the stars.

whacked. I know.

I love the line: How at every meal I eat sunlight. I always thought the idea that we are eating energy from the sun was romantic.
