Of The Universe

Heat pulsates and radiates

piercing the cloudless atmosphere,

courtesy of Apollo driving his

golden chariot high above,

blinding our eyes with its glorious

radiance no mortal may look upon

without consequence.  We see the

golden orb of our galaxy's life-giving

sun spewing its hydrocarbons 

as far as solar winds can take

them in our little cosmos.  The

ancient Greeks saw one of a panoply

of elegant gods, an ancient Pharoah,

Akenaton, saw the monotheistic

evidence of a single god, Aton.

In our woodland ramble this day

of extreme heat we see evidence

in blazing colour and exquisite

sound of minute suns flitting the

branches of the forest as a flock of

delicate goldfinches evidence the

grand creation of nature, harnessing

the sun in her mysterious blueprint

of the unfathomable universe.
