Within a flow of amber ink,
the Sun takes measure of the day
just passed; she fills the open sky
with colors of her twilight verse.
Embedded in her dusky lines
are thoughts that rose to whirlwind heights,
with yours and mine and everyone's
portrayed in shades of vibrancy.
Expressions of our fears and doubts
have wafted up; she captures them,
reveals an insight far beyond
our comprehension. Soothed by rhyme,
our pain of personal defeat
becomes a softly muted glow
of indigo. She adds our cheers
of celebration -- streaks of red
are interspersed with fluid gold.
She writes with flawless style and grace;
our moments soar on sonnet trails
and join the rhythm of the stars.
Her journal done, she heaves a sigh.
Tomorrow is another page.

Thank you all for your heartwarming comments....a friend of mine who is into Greek mythology pointed out that Diana is the moon and her twin brother, Apollo is the sun, so I am actually considering changing the gender...
(then you could have the last laugh, Bob, hee hee!).

The sun... She? That's a new one. Okay, so now it's the Lady of the Lake, Mother Earth, Maiden Wind, even God... sheesh... is nothing male any longer except the Devil? Heehee... just teasing. The anthropomorphism of inanimate objects is charming when done as well as this piece. I love how you incorporated the writing metaphors. "Within a flow of amber ink..." just gorgeous, Lary!
