the light

for i am the sun

the waning moon,
ceases to show,
as brightly as me -
for i am an asteroid,
and have so much room to grow,
so much bigger and bolder,
than any moon could hope to grow,
flaring and burning,
scorching every bit of land i roam,
leaving not a single bit of land
without my brilliant touch.

for i am the sun,
bright and full and gorgeous,
shining through the clouds,
and waking up the earth.
