Passion for the Day

Colors cascade down molten sky
Clouds burst in fiery soft array
Then quenched in power by azure sea
As passion fades from life to gray

The hot flush fades from sun-kissed cheeks
As Earth turns her face in blush
To cool excited skin and seas
A respite from her lover’s touch

She sleeps the silent stars her dream
Space cradles with protective night
Then waking finds her lover’s face
As he softly plants his kiss of light

Joyful beams fracture frail dawn sky
Through radiant glow the night gives way
Frost fights in vain life’s fearsome fire
And yields to passion hope of day
