Smile-eyed Sun, you’ve gathered your kin, daughters,
Sons, cousins -- all relative; End begun
Without end, send sweet wisdom’s starred rapture
Dawning into these eyes of sight undone!

My friends -- no more pride, no place to hide,
With earth undone. I feel the heat; the beat
Of family ties esteems our long-lived guide,
Awakening in Son’s disguise. Complete

The cycle seasons reap, beam with pride, for
Consensus of senses realizes
A new world’s begun, love everyone, lore
Will come to win. If we idealize

No deity of piety. For gods,
In realities, can die, when at odds.
