The Knight of Day

Perched upon feathery gems
Above the earth, above the elms

Thy slanted rays lolling amidst
The emerald leaves cloaked by mist 

Thy indolent careen, thy waltz of sky
Slows the time as it glides by...

Sullen straps of the mighty night
Now approach to ignite a fight

Thy power emerges, a sword aflame
A fierce battle now became

The night prevails, its stars aglow
It takes thy place, your frailty bestows

You descend the clouds, you penetrate
 Now thy struggle, thy will to retaliate

                                      Shall await dawn,,,
