Solaris

And here I stand, in the sky I see A star, a sun, a ball of fire and heat he be. He gives us warmth and in the day, gives us light, Only subsiding in the wake of that which is night. And now, in the summer, it graces us well, He shines upon our world with many stories to tell. A bright herald of holiday in the middle of the year. A time of happiness and fun and never a tear. And although he might vanish behind the cloud of grey, Moments after, he would reappear and stay. The triumphant hierarch of the solar system, he’d reign, A being who carries the other planets with vain. Never too far and never too near, Around him our earth would circle and steer. Forever he’ll rule and forever he’ll burn, On his surface, the hellish flames will churn. Never stare upon his shining face, For he will blind you with his light and grace. So keep your sunscreen or your skin he will sting, For he is Solaris, The almighty sun King.
