Soliloquy

I once thought I had discovered fire
Created matter
Day from night rendered
Could set all things to right
Spoke for all the world to listen
To my golden pearls of wisdom
Which I in naivety thought glistened
For surely such as I had wrought
Had known such measure ne’er before
Worlds circled me
For I was the sun – the light of worlds
The beginning begun
And oh the race which I would run

Before the eclipse had begun
