Sun of Earth



God’s Sun of Earth, you've caught us in your gravity,
Like tethered on a string, we’re pulled around your glow,
Your light and energy support all living things...  
You are the center of our Galaxy, we know.

Our Sun, God’s beacon shining down on us each day
Embraces us in warmth and knowledge that His gift
Holds answer to the way our Galaxy exists
With Sun, the center of all life, in space adrift.

We look for you at break of dawn each brand new morn
And feel the surge of hope you bring for our new start;
Your brilliant rays above the clouds take breath away…
We feel the reign of God behind your beating heart.

At sunset in the soothing glow of earthly dusk,
We feel the calmness that flows through our quiet soul…
Our God of glory reigns within your dimming light
To grant the peace of night and wake refreshed and whole.

Oh, Sun of Earth, you've caught us in your gravity;
the hand of God created life for us through you…
The miracles of life sustained by Sun’s great force
Were planned and shaped by our Creator’s imaged view.

The words are descriptive and flaunt their message onto the page with self-assurance and a splash of wisdom that captures the reader's imagination and attention. Well chosen words come alive in the reading and we cannot suppress a nod of agreement at the descriptive narration. Emile.

Yes, the sun is a true miracle on our earth and its likeness to "son" of God even gives more impact to a poem like this one, sandra.
