Example

Rapture in Twilight by JezzieG

They called you Ra so long ago
Reborn each day in cosmic glow

From longest day to shortest night
I see your rapture in twilight

And does the earth now mourn with me
For you are gone so others see

Your golden clouds that gently wake
Your sleeping children at daybreak

My king of light and all things true
I pray their souls will honour you
