I love the face of the round-shaped celestial body
Show your face until we will have enough. Heat our cold souls and warm our weary hearts. Bring us temporary relief from the wet season. Don't hide yet from the clouds. Fight your way to the surface for the earth to see you more during this day. So that we may know that you still have your sun in you. You, sun, is important to us.
The clouds are rushing to cover you but don't be fooled by those vapors that turned white. You are yellow. You are dazzling. You can do better. Talk to the vapors so they won't block your face.
We will bring out our wet clothes, you dry them, we'll be ready for the coming rain, just in case.
I'll be going to town. By then don't give up on us. We also need your heat to kill bacteria and parasites. Some who made our young ones and ourselves sick.
The children will come out and bask in your presence. They will play as if they have not played for days. They will laugh like it's not the rainy season. They will forget the rain temporarily.
The papayas during the rain were vanquished. Will they be able to live again? They might be. As long as they are standing sturdily still.
The wet ground has dried a little. But the ground will not easily forget the rain. It will be wary and not too long it will rain again. But at least it has tasted the sun for a little while.
The stinky dogs will be bathed under you. They will once again experience your warmth. They will also, like children, play as if there's no coming rain. But at least, they get to be happy once in a while. Though it is not necessarily the case that they are melancholy during the rain.
But things we know have their purpose. The sun comes up. The clouds block the sun. The rain comes down. The plants will dance. The plants need both rain and sun. They need fresh air. They need care and warmth and the things that human needs.
It is half way through August. We are nearing the -ber months. Still the rainy season. But once in a while, dear sun, show your face to us. And we will not forget what you are to us.
