A red sun, pooling like a drop of blood, coagulates at the edge of darkness. And the night flows like a shadow, a flood black as pitch, inking a seamless starkness. A gilded moon, like a pitted gold coin, beams in the sky as a beacon of light. And like swarms of flashing fireflies, stars join quasars and pulsars, twinkling in the night. Dawn frets like a nervous actor offstage practicing, to introduce the sun. And as a gossamer breeze turns the page, morning shimmers, like a web, freshly spun. And the sun rises, a golden balloon afloat in the air like a songbird's tune.
