The sun eyes <br />the golden lakebed. <br />It winks a half-closed gaze as <br />lids grow heavy. It’s time to sleep, <br />as it slips under the dark water, <br />until it wakes the morning. <br /> <br />Full moon shines <br />on silver water wakes, <br />sentinel of creatures hunting <br />for substance to fill their hunger. <br />Moonlight softly glows on land and sea, <br />keeping watch over the night. <br /> <br />Earth, a sapphire sphere, <br />looks up towards heaven. <br />Dependent on sun and moon <br />for life and light and ocean tides, <br />rotating through cycles of life <br />Home of man; miracle of God.<br /><br />Kitty Smith<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/ode-to-carl-sandburg-s-fog/
