An Angel My Sun

I am the one 
   who rises in the east
   and sets in the west,
I am all the best
   of orange, yellow
   pink and red;

With many faces of love 
   I have come
   to build empires 
   of light
   and make bright
   as a fire-sky ----
   a smile for every season,
   and harvest hope ----
   all the while
   the Earth is sleeping
   
   (and I am set)

Nice verse here! It is freezing in NYC. I recently published tow poems in Beyond Bree - which is a publication of the Mensa Tolkien Special interest group. I have been writing for it for years. "empire of light" - nice phrase! Peace & Blessings Matthew Anish

Hey Matt, thanks for your visit. The last line really means that when the sun sets or when things get 'grim' --- one always has hope in it rising, or things getting better. Shall we say, a metaphor for hope? Cheers! ;-)

Stimulating! Please comment on my Chanukah poem - no one has yet and I believe it is one of my better ones. Have you read Tolkien - Donaldson? Peace & Blessings Matthew Anish
