sun face

you feel so blue
so cold and sad among your classmates
though you're dressed like a summer girl
you love sun colours

behind your eyes
are faraway blue mountains
you don't know why
but let yourself fall
into a reverie

in the blue mountains
you're a flowery being
a trusting marigold
reaching out to cherish
like the many-armed ancient Egyptian
sun with small golden hands

gold bangles tinkling
yellow petal skirt billowing
you raise your sun face
to the smiling centre of life

coming back you realize
to reclaim your radiance
you should honour your inner habitat
by wearing blue jeans or a blue
hair bandeau in remembrance
