I Watched the Execution of the Sun

I watched the execution of the sun,
blood-red above the sea,
first sliced in half and then submerged,
her fleeting soul set free.

I watched the death-throes of the sun,
now submerged in brine,
her fires doused, her light entrapped
within her great decline.

I watched the burial of the sun,
till darkness ruled the land,
the stars were born,
the moon ruled night,
its glow upon the sand.

I watched the resurrection of the sun,
borne from some distant place,
she casts her light,
dispels the night,
and bathes us in her grace.
