A Golden Sphere Poem by Ernestine Northover

A Golden Sphere

Rating: 4.7


A golden sphere is lifting up so slowly in the east,
The eye is looking towards it, and seeing such a feast,
Blazing with bands of colour, and giving a wondrous heat,
A view that to each observer, is something so complete.

The sphere goes on its journey, and starts slowly rising,
In different coloured guises, it begins such advertising,
Above the trees and fields, of this silent waiting land,
With a spectacle so splendid, so magnificent and grand.

A whole range of hues are seen, within this fiery glow,
Changing as the hours pass by, it then starts sinking low,
And if seen in splendid glory, is a wonderful imposing sight,
Out to the west, where it disappears into our moonlit night.

Sunrise, sunset - how quickly the days are gone. Sad, yet hopeful that that old sun will continue his journey.

A whole range of hues are seen, within this fiery glow, Changing as the hours pass by, it then starts sinking low, And if seen in splendid glory, is a wonderful imposing sight, Out to the west, where it disappears into our moonlit night what a lovey stanza of your rich poem is this one.. the poem is really written with a professional way and the idea is thoughtful.. deep and meaningful enough..well done dear poetess friend.. like your poetry..
