Our unlikely friendship

Sun sets at La Jolla Shores. Nov 14, 2014.
Each farewell different the aching darkness stretches and cowers as Gaia hurtles through crushing void seasons turn, reign, die, go back into the queue
What is a sunburn, but affirmation that we are alive due to our unlikely friendship with an enormous, raging orb
its inner chaos giving rise to spring daffodils and year-round humanity
