the Courage of the sun
reflected on her face;
a reflection never as bright
but not dull.
Shining?

but without Courage she
is blind, or she hides.
I walk in darkness.
I miss her
Still.

she returns, not of her own
Will or Strength,
another cycle passed.
rising from the dead to
Beauty

return to retreat overhead
with Strength, Courage, Pain
another cycle. Past.
between glistening Glory and
Oblivion.
