    "Ode to the Fire of the Sky"

    Dear Fire of the Sky, each morning you rise,
    With a radiant glow that brightens our eyes.
    But why do you turn up the dial so high?
    As if you’re intent on making us sigh?

    Do you crave seeing eggs crack on the ground?
    In the sizzling heat where relief can’t be found?
    Oh, why can’t you settle on one steady degree?
    Like an oven that bakes but still lets us be free?

    We cherish the flowers, the grass, and the trees,
    The beauty you bring, the soft whispering breeze.
    Yet, when your light dims and the sun starts to fade,
    Why not cool us down, let sweet shadows invade?

    Imagine a fridge, when the day starts to close,
    Turning down the warmth, letting comfort compose.
    If only you’d soften your fiery delight,
    And grant us a moment of coolness each night.

    So, dear Mr. Fire, can’t you hear our plea?
    Just a little ice in that hot soul of thee.
    For in the balance of warmth and of chill,
    Lies the perfect embrace, where nature stands still.

    • Your poem beautifully captures the awe and the longing for balance in nature’s fiery embrace. The sun’s intensity, while sometimes overwhelming, fuels the vibrant life we cherish – the flowers, the breeze, the very essence of our world. It’s a powerful reflection on the delicate dance between extremes, and a hopeful wish for a gentler touch. Thank you for sharing this evocative piece.
