Valsa George Poet Free verse

Victor's March

The sun has now climbed to the Eastern hills
Charioted in scintillating glory like a mighty king
Shattering the mist with his lance like beams
He exults like a victorious warrior

His crystal rays rouse the sleeping birds
And they begin their dulcet chorus without cords

Anil Deo February 3, 2022 at 5:37 AM As a former Hindu, I loved looking east toward India, & greeting Surya Devata. Also doing Surya namaskar. Science proves our closes STAR IS A KING. Others stars are mightier, but too far to do us ( and dark space) much good. Pithy poem, as prayer Valsa George February 3, 2022 at 8:02 AM Yes, Surya Namaskar is one of the most effective yoga practices. Sun being closer to us is like a King, brilliant in glory ! Thanks for your evaluation of the poem. It is something amazing that from being a Hindu you have become so well versed in the Bible and the teachings of Jesus. Stay Blessed...

Victor Buhagiar February 3, 2022 at 5:28 AM I suppose it is a pity I never see a sunrise. I am always late in waking up. Hugs. Valsa George February 3, 2022 at 7:56 AM Once in a while, try to wake up a little early to see the glory of a sunrise on a clear day.... ! Thanks a lot Victor..!

Gershon Wolf February 2, 2022 at 7:41 PM Love the penultimate line, Valsa.... and btw, can you send that charioteered yellow ball my way to get me out of bed earlier in the a.m?! ~ Ex-Earlybird Valsa George February 3, 2022 at 12:24 AM Don't you know the dictum - 'Early to bed and early to rise makes a man healthy, wealthy and wise'..... So be an early bird :) Thanks a lot !
