Bright as the Sun
Who am I ?
I am as bright as the sun
As you gaze upon me
In the starry starry nights
I leave you stunned
I am as pale as the ghost you see
Whiter than snow
Stronger than the giant trees
More free than the shooting stars you want to be
I am as graceful as a ballerina
Dancing through the sky
I am even smarter than Athena
So sharp I could pierce your mind in any arena
I shine upon the cool winters
And the warm summers
I can shoot splinters
Though I am not such a sprinter
I am the cotton of the sky
I weave the sky in harmony
As I go by
Into the unknown
I am the moon
I am a great sight
I am pure white
I am so light
I am ever so bright
I am the past
I am the present
I am what is yet to happen . . .
