A Collision of Stellar Proportions
  
Author: Mark Watson




Cool was the day when the sun 
Came into the earth�s life.
Like a crisp fall morning with a 
Chill in the air.
The frost was upon the earth�s
Exposed skin, uninviting to the touch.

The morning soon warmed golden
Light everywhere, as the life of the 
Earth�s soul began to stir.
The warmth of the sun burst off
The morning mist.

The sun warmed the earth to a level
Thought unknown.  The seas of passion
Burned inside and were sent to 
The Sun unconditionally. And at no
Time from this point on was the
liquid of the earth�s side allowed 
To flourish any other puddle;
It was for the sun�s taking.

The transfer of fulfillment became
Complete, as the sun and earth
Burned brightly in the sky. Two stellar
Hearts beading together as one,
Their warmth felt by all. And
From this stellar crash of hearts
Came another; another that 
Promised to be more bright than
Ever known before.

Though it is the path of destiny
That is out of the hands; a loss
Felt so great that shattered this 
Universe of tranquility.

And as fast as the sun rose to 
Warm the land, it fell from sight,
Eclipsed and black shadowed, the
Earth lost it�s sun, and the earth
Fell from the sun�s heart.

As this vicious parody unfolded,
The light eclipsed from the earth,
The sun no longer shined. The
Life was sucked out of the earth,
It began to wither and die.

The earth in pain overcame it�s
Hurt to face a new day without
Its sun. The earth drew the
Missing light from itself, that it
Learned from its beloved sun.

Years have passed, the earth has
Healed. And like a new day, the
Sun again brings new life over the
Horizon. Memories of yesterday in
Every ray of light.

The earth unsure, been burnt
Before, shields his eyes from 
The warmth of her on his stem.
The earth must decide whether
To lower his protective hands
Over its heart to allow the
Sunshine to warmth, or turn
His back the opposite way to
Reach for a new horizon.

And if the earth turns its 
Position away from the sun,
It always knows it will feel the
Warmth of the sun on its back,
And the earth will always be there
To guide the eternal sunlight.
