He wipes the dried flakes of soil from his face as he comes to life. He is called to his task in the air. Rises, he rises. With tireless love he takes his chair.
Angels touch his skin Which glistens in the golden glow Of an orb that burns eternal, Or as long as lives a soul.
A new day begins When Helio pulls the sun In the employment of Saturn For the service of all and one.
Would the world get by without him? Would the day be ever long? He never pauses to wonder When he pulls his chariot along.
There never is a day He thinks they should give praise. Love means that he does the task Without a question to be raised.
Rarely given Helio Is a thanking for the light; For bringing them the sun Until the time of night.
I wrote this poem about the sun just now. It really is a metaphore, an ode to those people among us who perform their tasks in service to others with selfless intent.
