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
