Alex at Crater Lake

The day unfolds with rays of sun,

rainbow spectrums fueling fun.

Oceans, mountains, rivers and stones,

a beautiful playground for my flesh and bones.

Let the wind’s strength carry a call,

the coming of winter, the passing of fall.

Let the sun shine on, I am its kin,

its blood warms my heart and all that’s within.

I thank the sun, before it turns to night,

that it gives me life to be a colorful light.
