Sun Hymn

short poem

Helios, the Sun, the Goldgiver, the Ring-Globe, the Wheelspinner,

     Where turning Earth, turning,

      Receives the spread and spill of rays

      To gather its days. 

Which circle-passion intense in radiance

  remains sphere staying perfect in balance,

     What spheres mercurial and spheres plutonic

       revolve in echoing rings.

Helios, The Sun, The Sky, Divinity, The Global Wonder,

        My heartwish.
