Majestical Brilliance
Slowly I rise. I patiently await my royal cue.
I wait for my brother’s last radiant tangelo hue.
Darkness will have vanished. All will welcome the new day.
My beams of warmth will blanket my children at play.
From the grass in the meadow, to the lofty tops of the trees.
I comfort the deer’s’ in the forest. The birds. The bees.
My sister; the breeze gently cools all that’s in sight.
As for me, I sit firmly casting majestical brilliance of light.
Long and hard hours of labor, is how my day is spent.
I will have done my duty. I will leave in content.
Soon the birds will flock to the trees. All gone for the night.
My brilliance will have faded. There’ll only be my brother’s amber light.
Orchestra of crickets will announce my brother’s new start.
My time here, final. My majestical brilliance must depart.
I am needed elsewhere. Others need my brilliant light.
I must go. To one and all, I wish you peace. Goodnight.
