Fire Mother

Cold morning greets the weary eye clouds drape the horizon in gray I turn around avoiding the sight I cannot stand with a dreary pale day And then I feel it on the nape of my neck A hint of warmth kissing my skin I turn around gazing out my window and see in the gray light the size of a pin I try not to build on my hopes the thin ray of light might be gone in a tick And then it happened the clouds parted way amazing ling quick within a moment I was a washed in light blinding brilliant and glaring so bright it was like the day had defeated the night leaving the world with breathtaking sight The orb of energy colored the sky in outrages shadows and countless hues the godly object painting its art from star to star the cosmos its muse I moved with a pace to open the door I flung it open with a giddy delight the clouds burned away by the waking of ra the life giving force of comfort and might the rays that touched the flesh of my face washed in warmth a faint tingle Colors above began to dissipate lose there sharpness leave then un mingle now the sky retains the majestic color of the all welcoming blue now nothing can stop the suns life and energy from making it through the moments I spent outside my front door revitalized my heart filled my soul I dare not stare into the great star the center so bright a positive hole I stood there soaking up the nectar my skin absorbing the vital beams Before this day I thought the world could only be this beautiful in our dreams Iam not sure to this day how long I enjoyed it how long did I stay I took the time to indulge in the feeling the blinding array The golden orb that gives life a chance nourishes its children down below refreshes my outlook changes the day shinning down for the rest to grow to bathe in its glory heat on my skin sensations burn from my feet to my chin summer is coming in its time the way it has always done the way its been Shading my eyes from the fiery glare I take a last glance at the burning sphere so filled up inside with light and warmth my lets out a rejoice full tear Once again it will set in the sky but it doesn’t take long for it to appear to give the life that we all so crave and to make our days a little more clear a god to revere a star we hold dear every summer once every year it comes again to greet us here banish the dark conquer our fear once again I will gaze and ill peer on the celestial being that owns the sky the liquid fire mother our sphere
