How do I Greet the Sun?

How do I greet the sun,
should I just say hello
for the light that warms the earth,
what formality do I show.

For the sky that carries the light,
distinguishing night and day,
for the moon that escorts the night
for the stars that guide our way.

Is it the thought that counts,
would a simple smile do,
should I salute the morning,
or pretend to be unmoved.

For the earth that carries our feet,
for the winds that carry our dreams
is my time to valuable
for considering primeval things.

When I meet a river,
how do I break the ice
would I prefer to stay frozen
when water can so entice.

For the mountains that carry each challenge,
for the forests that define all our paths
if we never recognize her majesty,
do we really fear nature's wrath.

will I ever meet tomorrow,
when everything happens today
I wanted to speak with the past
but it had presently gone away.

For the pasts that define each present,
For the times that define our lives
if we always prepare for the future,
Why does the present always thrive.
