Paparazzi Sun
Everyone’s famous
when the sun’s bulb flashes
when it keeps them in the spotlight
and follows them through their day
Everyone’s rich
when the sun cashes in
when its pot of gold overflows
and its lucky star pays dividends

This really makes me think of spring when people up here in the north sits in the sun and just drink the light.

I wonder what happens when the bulb goes out, and the darkness asks for her dues…

We are all a star glistening in the sunlight, may your light always sine

Aptly and succinctly said.

This is, indeed marvelous, but may I ask: What is this “sun”, of which you speak?

It hasn’t been around lately, but just wait. I feel like a rich star when it shines down on me.
