Tampa Bay Rays

The Sun

Have you ever seen
anything
in your life
more wonderful

 

than the way the sun,
every evening,
relaxed and easy,
floats toward the horizon

 

and into the clouds or the hills,
or the rumpled sea,
and is gone--
and how it slides again

 

out of the blackness,
every morning,
on the other side of the world,
like a red flower

 

streaming upward on its heavenly oils,
say, on a morning in early summer,
at its perfect imperial distance--
and have you ever felt for anything
such wild love--
do you think there is anywhere, in any language,
a word billowing enough
for the pleasure

 

that fills you,
as the sun
reaches out,
as it warms you

 

as you stand there,
empty-handed--
or have you too
turned from this world--

 

or have you too
gone crazy
for power,
for things?

I'm fairly certain they used to be called the Devil Rays, but it's Florida.  The right winged crazies probably didn't like the word devil.  Also, their logo is lamo.  It doesn't matter.  Rays is perfect for my day since my day almost solely has consisted of sitting on the beach catching "rays".  Around 9am after my exercises, morning walk, and breakfast, I went to the beach.  My new Canadian friends brought me a salad from their casa, so I remained on the beach until 5.  Life is good in Mexico.  It's a shame today was the last day on the beach catching "Rays".  At least I'll still be able to have a couple more walks by the ocean before I leave.
