May 6, 2016 - But Then Came the Sun

BUT THEN CAME THE SUN


But then came the sun
and what did it matter?
Yesterday’s tears flew like the wind
scattered as leaves
blown to the four quarters
bowing to the mighty sun
to the Golden King.

Then came the sun!
Beautiful and warm and strong
and fierce--he was fierce!
Aflame with passion!
The birds sang
the animals leapt for joy
the people bowed their heads.

In reverence
in holy reverence
in sacred love
in the embrace of light
in the presence of divinity
the ancient and Shining One
the First.

The sun has come!
Don your finest!
Skip to the dance!
What is darkness?
What does it matter?
The sun is here!
Long live the King!
