An orange sun-sphere twirls imperceptibly
In the blue-jay feather blanket of the sky
And clocks the hours of the day's passing
While it's smiling warmth loves the earth.
But when its solitude turns to deep loneliness
Rain splish-falls noisily against the street
And lets the orange light play hide and seek
Tucking itself behind cream-thick clouds.
It never wants the happy games to cease
So the pearl-moon chases down its brother
The sun gives up to run beneath the horizon
Because it is afraid of the onyx-black night.
Now starlight dances along the moon's skirts
And sparkles like the marbles of angel's eyes
All night long until finally the sleepy moon
Goes to bed and takes its black blanket too
So the sun can rise again and cartwheel
In the never-ending embrace of heaven.
