Book Cover & Preview Text
The Rising Sun The glory of the rising sun A great splendour to behold, Glamorously rising in the east, Illuminating smiles in spherical yellow. Leading the herdsman up his journey, Embracing petals on paradise rose; Glorifying sprouting on labourer's yields, Evaporing drippings of pegged up lines. With colours of life and rays of light, Shining smoothly to sanction our day. Nature's gleaming eyes on gentle siblings Beaming sharp signals of pellucid flare; Beginner of new dawn from weary dusk, Stretching up my bones to sparkling glister. Reflecting dazzles, your scintillating shimmer, Kindle up my spirit with radiating armour; Tremendous spectacle high above mountains, Ignite my veins to the beauty of your eyes, To shed on lustre in our glimmering dance, Flickering glamour on my lyrical tunes; To burnish a glare, a bedazzled smile Luminously glorious from the rising sun.
