Solar evocation



      Solar evocation
 (A small hymn towards the sun)

 
 We came to this clearing, to gaze at the heavens
Observe the body of the day. Await the fall of night.
I will begin to read aloud, the proper evocation
to tame, to praise and pay respects, that will return as blessings:...

 Dominant sun, daymaker. Luminous lifegiver
The moon is envious of thee, as she reflects thy splendor
Transforming, bleue, ambiguous. Mysterious and pale
Without thee, sun, oblivious. Unseen without thy light

without thee, sun, we have no sight. Thy absence nurtures darkness
A deathly frost devoureth life, once thy existence ceases
Thy brief departure every dusk, signals a primal fear
Initiator of each dawn. Paternal sphere of flames

Magnific glare provider. Generous warmth emitter
Radiant star of daylight. Celestial brightest archon
The fusion of thy hydrogen, granteth thy fiery power
Mayst thou scorch, with solar wind, each maggot and all witches

 I plead to thee by many names. O Ra, Apollon, Helios...
