Fleeting

Molten orb, a fire in his eye,

Azure robes drape the sky,

He sits in the diurnal throne,

Radiance made heated stone.

Perpetuating the vast sky,

Waiting as the hours tick by.

She maintains the infinite night,

He keeper of the eternal light.

She the moon bright in onyx skies,

He the light at dawning sunrise.

Sharing the same celestial domain,

Opposites matched as lovers reign.

Symbolized 24 hours her yang to his yin,

Where one ends the other will begin.

A twinkle between dusk and twilight,

They exist for that fleeting delight.

Their love conceived the zodiac vale,

Stars bespangled heavenly braille.

Skinny dipping in the Ursa Major and minor,

Floating on the milky-way what could be finer.

A grand tour of the Cosmo fair

Departing without a moment to spare

Great ship constellation, Argo Navis, prime,

Till that instant old father time'll chime.
