To look up
To feel the heat
On your face, your neck, your arms.

To soak up the rays
Like water on the sand,
Then let them escape
Back into the air,

Live like a flower,
And soak up the sun
With faces raised sunward
Worshiping the globe of flames

Feel the heat
Feel the warmth,

The warmth of a hug
A faint blush
The sound of ‘I love you’

With Faces sunward,
We start the day
Hoping our warmth,
Will be savored.

The author's comments:
I was watching my morning glories open up in the beginning of the day, and I realized that some people are very much like flowers, they savor the warmth the sun gives us in the beginning of the day, getting away from the chill of the night.
