SYMPHONY OF THE SUNRISE

Invited by the vibrant firmament 
for a celestial spectacle
here am I yielding with exuberance
ready to behold sunrise miracles
yet was likewise divinely enthralled 
by its offered symphony …
     angelic orchestra
     renders heavenly melodies
midst kaleidoscopic blends of dawn radiance
     as harps of praises prevail
     over crescendo of worship-exaltation
while sun continually conquers the sky
with triumphant golden blaze 
      that heralds cheering allegro of jubilant hymns
     accompanying trumpets' staccato for championship march 
proving its assigned function by the sovereign Creator
as the “greater light to rule the day”---
     serenely reigning with the adagio of seraphim's harmony
     and cherubim's rhythmic hums soothingly sweet.
Oh, here am I, captivated spiritually
anticipating the coming of the “Light”* with all His glory…
and yes, thankful for this poetic prompt 
yielding this muse.

*John 8:12 Then spake Jesus again unto them, saying, I am the light of the world: he that followeth me shall not walk in darkness, but shall have the light of life.
