Up in the Sky

Up in the sky
shielding the Earth from darkness
and burdening it with light.

Watching the birth of the universe
and yet as young as a newborn.
It is literally the light of our world.

Hiding in the night and
shining through the day.
It is birth and it is death.

The soul of our universe
but a sideline player in the
wonders of the galaxies.

Its rays are like veins
Pumping and feeding the Earth.
With its god-like heat.
