The Golden Sun

Deify me, I illuminate your world.
I shine like your luminous guardian angel.
In the cosmos, I am your adored arch-angel.
I awake to brighten a lack-luster morning.
I always your routine activities herald.
I glitter for the flora to have their fill,
so do I for men to energize their mill.
Of the ocean currents I keep on warning.
I make the flora lush for medicine and food.
I awake for the globe's universal good,
and sleep at even with a sated crimson smile.
I pave the way for the silver and dew for a while.
The globe's life would cease without my needful presence.
Of the firmament, I am the very essence.

Dear Joseph, your golden poetic pen has spilled a beautiful poem filled with vivid imagery and lovely rhymes. I especially liked "I pave the way for the silver and dew for a while." - what a wonderful way to express the night, made possible by the kindness of the sun - so poetic and creative. Warmest wishes.. ~Susan
