Sol Invictus

before man gave meaning

to time and motion,

a large sphere constructing photons

vowed to forever shine with a

wealth of luminous diamonds.

streaking through vast reaches to

father a pale, blue dot...

he keeps a promise

fit for a king, tirelessly gifting

love in the form of

warmth — light — life.

never sleeping, only

watching with eyes

taught by eons

and tears that fill the oceans...

men see in color

and give names to emotions.

they watch flowers bloom

and rainbows command the sky.

they contemplate the morning mist

dissipating over still waters

as a shower of light gently

breaks the horizon,

dispersing atoms to play elsewhere...

but what man can't

truly see is this

grand paradise isn't

meant to last forever...

we tend to forget

that every flash of creation

ends in a flash of destruction.

a worry far off from here,

or is it?

fret not.

man will maintain

his curious quests

to witness the impossible,

fortifying lessons

only the stars can recite.

man, will continue to

revolve

and

evolve...

to a place called

tomorrow.
