                              Like the Sun, in its brightness 
                                    and thoughts that equals it shine, 
                  goes boldly about.
                                           Ventures without fear to be another Shakespeare 
                                  with another sonnet, or a hundred.
                           Take a drive and see Aurora 
                       rise, like Maya Angelou 
          on a road, 
                            and get lost in Robert Frost.
                           The Sun, in its brightness, 
                                seems to soar solely in the sky.
                                      The moon shares the sky with the stars in darkness.
                        Brightness and darkness
                                         appears to be their illegitimate children
                                             Brightness, darkness, shadow: a poet shines.
