A September reprieve

The Sun's been my enemy for 40 long years,
caged in its gaze I'm alone.
A mother who drinks of my blood, sweat and tears,
who takes till I'm dry to the bone.
Yet fortunate I am that once in a while,
nature denies her own prey,
and Winter's cold hands keep me wrapped in his warmth,
till the sun doth set over Sligo bay.
