A World Of Tomorrow's Promise

A black sphere floats above
the cloudless midday sky,
blocking out the luminescent rays
of the heavenly celestial star,
which hangs upon the
backdrop of noon,
valiantly shining for the benefit
of all who stand within its vicinity.
The darkened orb casts
malignant shadows upon the ground,
forcing the world into a
shroud of haze and confusion.
Suddenly, the sphere shatters,
like a glass bottle thrown to the cement,
into a million pieces of darkness
which fall to Earth in a rain of hail
to embed themselves within
the hearts of every living soul.
And then as suddenly as
the darkness overtook the sun,
light returns to shape the day,
and all go about their business,
while within each lurks the promise
of a seed of darkness blooming
into a blossom of incandescent beauty,
to shape a world of tomorrow's promise
within the divine inspiration of
transcending enlightenment.
