Sun

We are trapped 
in the revolution of the earth 
around a fiery star.

We rise with it, 
praise its bright light and heat, 
let it guide us from afar,

and when its radiance 
is spent, all that’s left 
is its phantom, pale and lunar.

Written for this Monday’s Quadrille, which I am hosting over at the dVerse Poets Pub, where we are starting a revolution with 44 words.

For anyone who is new to the form, the Quadrille is when we take any meaning of one word and transform it into 44 poetic words.

  19. A whole other kind of revolution. Amazing to think of the moon outlasting everything. A very cool quadrille. Thanks for linking at What’s Going On.

  20. I love the quadrille form, and this one is brilliant. We definitely are trapped in this kind of revolution, which is a good thing or we would be flung out into space. Smiles. Glad to see you!
