sunspots and solar flares
cold humors hot tempers
the split personalities
worn by colossus
resplendent in fiery aureole
witness of human events
bearing light upon history
leaving no secrets to men
all deceptions divulged
truth the everlast cargo
conveyed cross the skies
in his golden wheeled chariot
giving from morning to night
affidavits of testament
keeping the gods well informed
of weak progress strong pain
that attends the imperfect
performance of mortal free will
Well this is one hell of a powerful poem…three reads on power just expands…I hear Richard Burton in his sober days reading aloud…brilliant stuff Paul
