There was something very rare
overhead, high in the air.
Today the sun made a stop
in the sky. On scorching top.
For one hour! For so long!
What’s the reason? What is wrong?
Well, maybe the sun would like
to show a sign of a strike?
Or maybe it had to stay
because the sun lost the way?
Or it can be one more theory.
The sun could be very weary
and the cure, simply the best,
was to stop and make a rest.
I called out: „Hello sunshine!
I am worried. Are you fine?
Let’s talk about midday halt.
What’s the reason? Who’s at fault?
Have you problems with your power?
What has happened at noon hour?”
The sun made a silly face
and told me: „I stayed in place
because at noon - without daubt -
so … I gossiped and … spaced out.
I was talking at the fence
with my cousin. So intense!”
„This is really something new.
Tell me, please. Tell me who
is your cousin overhere.
Tell the secret. Please my dear.”
It said to me with a smile:
„ I was chatting for a while,
maybe even for one hour,
with my cousin – the sunflower.”
