There is a sequence to all Life

A sinew from the sunshine    
reaches across night    
as the moon in platinum glistens,    
   
A short breath, far in the distance,    
the moons stretch through darkness    
in a heliocentric center of light,    
   
But only one through my window,      
perfect in its lock and layer    
of any shadow to hold its own,    
   
Just a rock, floating, reflecting    
the rotation of earth; all in    
unison with each celestial object,    
   
"Brave Helios"— for a goddess    
will light up the night, once in a lifetime,    
the lifetime a moment, yet all so long,    
   
A deeper breath, in the distance    
the moon is Marilyn Monroe  
and the sun is Jean Harlow,    
 
There is a sequence to all Life;  
the sun winked to a bed of
pink roses outside my window,    
— I woke to listen,  
among the shadows from    
long ago, and I stood on my own.    
   
"Brave Helios" The Moody Blues, whom I love    
from, Days of Future Passed, Morning Begins, 1967
