Love and Eternity: I

I
Day/Night

 

Every day,
      [The horizon glows in morning splendor
      does the Sun tease slow with its golden locks?
      The nebulous night turned vivid candor
      lunar slumber pierced by golden-haired stalks.]
Every night
      [That cools the embers of Western setting
      crescent smiles sparkle with shining starlight!
      That work and toil doused by slumber letting
      slip silently in sleep of gentle night.]
Sadness takes flight
      [A flutter, a gust of wind billows fast
As with your smile
      (the muscles twitch and the mortals tremble)
Happiness alights
      the softest feather drops gently at last.]
