Changing of the Guard
The now tired sun casts a crimson glow
Upon the distant shore as it retires
Allowing itself to rest in slumber
And be stronger for the new day
Its companion moon now captures
The earth in an ambient glow
Of ritual nighttime affection
As it kisses the earth hello
The transfer of guardianship
As demonstrated by these orbs
Exhibits magnificence of the creator
As it shows power and love for us all
