Rising Sun

Inextinguishable, I am a wonder
an awe-inspiring sun
streaking prisms of orange-yellow and red
across an expansive sky
fear not the transient darkness
rays light up your path and, 
bathe you in torrid heat, my warmth,
align your heart soul with
my core, my burning furnace
gather power and strength 
gulp mouthful of warm air
blowing off the vast ocean,
be trusting when I go down or
shifting and slipping behind clouds,
this is my caper, my own joie de vivre
mirages, illusions, so surreal, so sublime
is my promise, a vow
another day east, I will 
rise and rise and shine again
