The Sun

O blazing sun, with golden rays,
You send the shadows far away,
In twilight’s hue, as light decays,
Your warmth, a lover’s soft array.

Within your gaze, the colors bloom,
From vibrant greens to ocean’s blue,
In every petal, life consumes,
A chorus bright, fresh as the dew.

O sun, your passage fills the sky,
In every dawn, hearts feel the thrill,
In nature’s love, we rise and fly,
To dance beneath your wondrous will.

• Herman Melville
