look now
the sun
she moves
casting her
shadows where
she may

look now
the sun
she moves
welcoming her
children into
the day

look now
the sun
look now
the sun
look now

daylight
sunbeams
sunbright
daybeams

all to say
hello

she knows
she does
the sun
she shines

she knows
she does
the sun
her lines

with glee
with grandeur
with vim
with vigor

look now
look now
look now
look now

why does
the sun
   does
the sun
was why

we lay
   here
together
   never
asking
   why

the sun
   does
the way
   does
the sun
   says
   hi

marvel
delight
dappled 
sunlight

the way
she does
the howshe does
the why
she does

window
   oh
window
mirrors
   to
the soul

that's why
 she does
that's where
 she does
that's who
 she does
   delight

   you
it's all
for you
a glance
a kiss
a narrow
   miss
-ed moment
she thanks
say thanks
with might
