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 Date: 2/3/2022 5:37:00 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 Login to Reply Valsa George Date: 2/3/2022 8:02:00 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...
