he greets the sun
at its rising
with a bow
and salutes
its setting
with a drum
in between
the old man
sits and tans his hide
he smiles
cancer hasn’t gotten him yet
and every day is a gift
* * * * *
another man faces the sun
with a relic raised
to honor the Son
waiting patiently
for those who seek prayer
“JESUS IS THE ANSWER”
he sets down his cross
walks past the bar
to the public restroom
his jaw is set
his reward is ahead
and every day is a sacrifice

Wow, great stuff! I really like the contrast between these two men. Made me think. I keep wondering, going back and forth on which one of these guys I would rather hang out with.
