SUN, THE KNIGHT OF THE DAY Knight of the day still ablaze in the west Putting your shiny steel gauntlet to rest Late is the hour to brandish a shield That mirrors your tangerine glow on the field You cannot challenge the opal white moon Not to rise in your place that her face will consume So lovely her countenance, bathed in your light Behind a white veil made of mist of the night And she will awaken you just before dawn When indigo shadows are stretched on the lawn Do not e’er seduce such a princess as she For your power is great but much weaker than He Remember your place in the great Milky Way That God is the King of the knight and the day Elizabeth Santos Feb 3, 2004 |
