*like a goodmorning kiss
you embrace the horizon
your golden fingers reach out
ready to dive-in
you wash the fields
in your golden essence
and all who awaken
embrace your presence
slowly you rise up
to fill these empty skies
and I lift my slumberer's head
to look you in the eyes
so many times before
have we begun this dance
each time, again I stay
so not to miss a chance
the melody of your rays
slowly claim their place
you are much to bright
for me to see your face
a bright and blinding beauty
I could never dare to atain
it is enough to sense your presence
I beg that you remain
bound to the sky
by an immortal chain
my Light, I know your dance
will never be in vain
I could never wish to tame
the passion beneath your skin
for I would only be burned
if you ever let me in
to touch, would mean an end
so I would never dare
I resign to my humble hope
that you could even care
you leave me alone
with the promise of a dream
but I have been told
things are not as they seem
until the next moring
my soul and heart shall yearn
only one deity can rule the sky
each must take their turn
I shall retain my nights
for my nights are mine alone
yet as a gift, I give you my days
for my days are yours to own
if I asked you sweetly
would you dare to let me run
the skies you've always owned
the skies of the morning sun
I stand so breathlessly
at the sight of you
veiled in this moring
and shrouded in the dew
I want to walk beside you
tracing every single step
following each and everyone
until none of them are left
none could compare
to your sweet light
but still you hide it
in the coolness of the night
you blush bright at dawn
like a gentle maiden's cheek
my friend, on your endless journey
I hope you find what you seek
you never look back
to the places you have been
you will always dance
to the heavens - and back again*
