Celestial Spheres

The morning sun has gone away
replaced by the full orb of day.
And when the sun has passed its noon,
it begins its acquiescence to the moon.

The moon, in turn, ascends the sky
to watch the earth bed-down and sigh.
The stars accompany this silver sphere
unaware we’re even here.

And on and on this heav’nly dance
as the seasons recede, return, advance.
We stare in wonder at the sight
as our own sphere turns from day to night.
