I rise like the sun

At first with a twinkle

Then a dash of color

And it builds into

Warm hues to warm

Any onlooker's core

And I rise

And I rise

But by mid day

I stand above you

Burning too bright to stare

Melting away the weather

And scorching skin

Of anyone who

Sticks around too long

The end of the day nears

And my day is done

As I leave you with majesty

And dimming heat

Making way for the stars

Lending time to darkness

And I sink

And I sink
