Far Away and Home

[modrobot]

In the cold light of dawn
she is warm incandescence;
                  a sparkle
If I could but bask in that glow
till the end of my days;
                  all eternity
To lay beside exploring
enraptured by her breathtaking landscape

Great vistas, shining plains
texture, contrast, oceans of delight
expand before me, unending

She is a planet who's soft, verdant, outer stratum
envelops
unflagging majestic rock and relentless crashing waves;
         the syncopated rhythm of Nature
And at her core, a wavering, luminous, pulsing center
of heat
of sweet light and argent desire;
         an unquenchable nexus of energy

I come undone in the well of her gravity
in the sweeping vistas of her form;
                  I am lost
And enwrapped in the glow of her Sun
As it rises behind her right shoulder;
                  I am home
