Hail Hyperion's Son

by Brian Francis

 
 
Morning comes with a glistening beam
Helios peering over darkness’ crest
Color awakens and brightens the eye
Another day has begun
 
With coffee brewing the senses awake
And the birds take flight from their rest
Nighttime recedes fleeing the hooves
Of Helios and his steeds
 
Sparrows singing welcome the day
As others join in a chorus of song
Dew dampened grasses, sparkling,
stretch toward the light of his rays
 
And I, sitting here, in the breaking of day
Embrace the warmth he offers the world
Breathing in that life giving gift
Pleasure giving worship to his might

We never tire of a sunrise. I really enjoy the mix of mythology with your morning cup of coffee.

Thought provoking slice of Greek mythos put to poetry Brian.
