a neon orange ball
behind a palm
majestic, tall;
arose to greet the early risers
like the birds
and such as i.

a giant roaming aperature
in the heaven's sphere
allowing fire that dwells beyond it
to descend
and touch the sky.

each golden ray that stoops,
this earth to kiss
must surely miss
it's former place
as do the angels
so-journing
here below

and yet each morning
they return
to give to all
who live upon this dull
and lesser orb, the blessings
heaven would bestow.
