A Celestial Greeting
Good day, Sun;
so nice to see you.
At my age, despite
what odds I give I
can't get anyone to bet,
all wagering off, as to
whether, the following
morning, I will be earth-side
or aloft?
Good morning, Sun,
you're so bright and
cheerful, let us start the
day with an earful: God
put us both where we
are, for Light Reason~
Yours to charm the sky,
the tales of a season,
mine to focus and sigh
as I write of your dim
and bright – it is a turning
world I live in, some turns
seeming without caring
reason –
It is here where we depart –
yours a physics, while mine
of feeling heart; yours predictable,
to within seconds – cycles long
into years – mine, a wash, of
surprising joys then senseless
tears – yours, a place so long
in the sky, while my span, a
brief hello, and goodbye –
Some say, you have a soul,
not merely a dawn and a
hush – good morning, my friend,
your moon does seem to blush –
