Waking Sun

The Sun is peeking out 
from its blanket of trees
as with a stretch and a yawn 
it wakes from its sleep

From its soft bed of earth
it slowly arises
and gently sits up
as it rubs it eyes

It plants its feet
in a carpet of sky
and wraps itself warmly
in a robe of clouds

It opens the door
to greet the new day
and takes a deep breath
of the fresh morning air

It is cheerful and ready
to go to its work
Illuminating the planet
with its golden rays
