At Her Pleasure

Even the powerful must
answer to a greater agency
with dominion over its
existence. And so it is with
the heavenly disk charged
with sustaining life on this
planet Earth. Where the sun
may do its duty at such times
when its own creator gives
it leave, denying on occasion
its passion to provide light 
and warmth to the creatures 
huddling below on the planet 
destined to orbit it through 
eternity but providing that life
sustenance only when Nature
deigns to order her clouds to
disperse from heaven's dome.
