Sol
"You don't know what you have
until it's gone."
Is it right to say the Phoenix is
most it's self as ashes?
And
"It's darkest just before the dawn."
More like 1 am.
But things begin to end, then end to begin.
I think
you can only get a good look at the Sun
when it just arrived, or is about to leave.
When you get your first impression,
or when you still know both it and it's history.
When it is either intensive, extensive.
And the Sun of the East casts
shadows on the end of the day.
The Sun of the West shines
on the memory of that morning.
At noon you can hardly look up
so that you don't know the light too well.
The opposite reason, in the dark you must dream.
It is no flaw of the cosmos
that the Earth turns.
If there was always light
it would be forgotten.
The Sun made you,
the night says "Drink plenty of water."
