the sun shone madly today
gazing upon the moon crests of
my pinkened toes
lovestruck almost
or as if it were meant to pay
some dandy form of homage
to my calm little stroll
along this lost stretch of forgotten
beach
attentive was the beams
though pressed as if in some solemn
repose
just like my thoughts
copacetic were our movements
yet how utterly absurd
I found myself thinking
the sun has never seemed so submissive
to me before
except
when into the cradle of the cooling night
one found it silently though sometimes
a little too sadly sinking
so perhaps
its amiable docility today
simply must be
my much too fruitful imagination's making
that was when
while meandering through my many jostled
thoughts this very poem materialized
just like that.............
