Hymn to the Sun

Michael Newberry Space Series Poetry #9

Infused with power
Her golden glow
Illuminates
Each ebb and flow
Each pulse of energy creates
A living canvas
Whilst death abates

A perfect circle
Formed of gold
Raised to the heavens
Let all behold
The clarity
And warmth, herein
With her, the path
To joy begins

She is the start
She is the end
Enlightenment
Upon her, depends
Watch darkness falter
Shadows flee
As incandescent 
Rays are freed

With regal bearing
A leonine light
Her grace and splendour
Subdue the night
All life we know
On her, depends
To rightful songs
Of praise, we tend

In all the cosmos
There is but one
Who may gaze, with reverence
Upon the sun
With pure devotion
With arms raised high
She holds this glory
Within our skies
