A Paean to the Sun

The Sun
The eternal sun, shines
Giving us its warmth
Its love –
Its radiation
Its power
Bright is its heavenly light
That throws light on our path
The giver of life
Right from the time of creation
Keeps shining on, on and on
On every good or bad,
On happy, sulky, and indifferent
Indifferent to the reactions,
Of the various kinds of people
Just doing its duty
And shining on, on, and on…

(Premnath: The Sun)

As the Sun starts on his northward journey, here’s wishing everybody a happy Sakrant/ Sankrant/ Pongal.

Have a very happy 2013.
