    Goddess of the Sun

    2015

    There are gods for the planets
    And gods for the turbulent seas
    But the Mother of Daylight
    Is the goddess for mortal me

    You’re the blush on my skin
    The glint in my evergreen eyes
    You’re the dream I begin
    The blaze in my overcast skies

    There are nymphs of the rivers
    And sylphs of the pellucid air
    But the Lady of Lumen
    Is a deva more filigree fair

    You’re the dawn of my light
    The phosphorescence of my Milky Way
    You’re the torch in my night
    The incandescence of my golden ray

    There is Sól and Apollo
    Helios, Anyanwu and Ra
    But all of them must kowtow
    To a deity much brighter by far

    You’re the cartwheel in my galaxy
    The twinkle in my rising star
    You’re the fire in my firmament
    The one I love, my Indi-Ra.
