Let me meditate on sunshine a bit, coming with sunrise
& ends with set
There’re dawn & dusk before sunrise & after
sunset, and light is spread.
In Sun’s presence direct light is always in front, and
revealing very much
Altitude varies color from creamy red-yellow to white,
then again so turn.
Ambient dust soaks light from sides in dawn &
dusks, reveals in else dark
Very useful as plenty light exists for working, before
actual sunrise or set.
There’s no atmosphere on moon or other planets, may at
some of other kind
And with sunrise & sunset, either is direct
daylight or night’s pitch darkness.
Meaning this, there are no dawn or dusk, and sudden
changes come before
Having these Nature’s phenomena, we’re lucky to have
many such boons.
We should be grateful to little charities around, and
sunshine is one of them
In equatorial & tropical regions, Sun is very
intense, but at poles quite dim.
Optimum well suits here, depending on locations of
Earth’s exterior sphere
Fact is our lives revolve around sun, and we sleep
& wake along with this.
Sun is our Earth’s master, and in ancient times, was
worshiped as good god
There were different concepts around, one that
revolving around the Earth.
Then we learnt it is very large compared to Earth,
which revolves around it
Seasons are made as per relative positions of places
on earth vis-a-vis Sun.
In winters, sunshine is boon of, it warms the Earth’s
surface & our bodies
Kids, old people, women, all stand in sun, just to
bask & gain some heat.
On sea beaches, people enjoy on warm sand, benefit from
sun’s presence
Its rays emit vital Vitamin D, strengthen our bones
and illuminates faces.
Its heat gives life to plants, and all flowers, fruits
produce in that process
Photo in ‘photosynthesis’ is light only; all animal
life depends on plants.
Plants are primary food producers, whole life-cycle
revolves around them
But before that Earth, water, air, Sun i.e. fire &
space are all contributors.
Sun is intense in summers, protection needed from
discomfort & dehydration
But it changes air-pressures, makes heavy air to rush
to low pressure places.
Creates huge wind rise, results oceanic currents &
cyclonic rains in near lands
Sun is sole melting pot effecting all, cold water
rises to waves to mee warmth.
Sun is very massive star, other 8 planets, satellites,
asteroids move around
It is the ultimate source of all energies; light is a
great boon to fulfil our lives.
In perpetual darkness no life can sustain, & Earth
will be a dead planet then
Sun’s optimum distance from Earth is very benign, &
has made life possible.
Sun’s penetrative rays clear all wastes, process to
transform into useful goods
Life threads are built around it, and clouds, rains,
fog, storms are phenomena.
We tend to forget blessings nearby, and just go on
weeping on minor problems
Rather should see our boons around, and then happily
can pass on this Earth.
Sun is some 5 billion years old star, our great
constellation Milky-way’s part
A tiny in super-massive universe, which is spread in measurable expanse.
Here locally I brood, but Sun has filled the Earth
with everything we require
Present atmosphere, air, water, soil, plant &
animal life are due to this only.
Sun-shine in poles is amazing phenomenon, it never
sets there for 6 months
For another 6 months, doesn’t seem rising, and there
is complete darkness.
Life activities suffer in dark phases, but light may
be absent for small period
Many issues require knowledge to brood, ignorance
simply mires the ways.
We see effects of sunshine’s intensity-changes on
bodies, skins, eyes, or hair
Hot & cold have changed features of flora &
fauna, as the permanent effects.
Bodies resonate with its motions; many cultures adore
it with different names
Many ancient shrines like Odisha’s famous Konark were
built in Sun’s name.
Several people worship Sun god in dawn & dusk
times, to please & gain boon
Many epics, poems, stories contrive around Sun, I am
lucky to describe its bit.
