Proud! Sun, you stand fierce
upon a sapphire throne.
Nothing keeps you down.
Appearing like a young god
with one gluttonous eye
upon the world.
When I see you shine,
I feel fortunate.
When dark,
it's difficult seeing
what is here with me, and
what is ahead.
I imagine you, as a lighthouse
standing strong against
black waves crowned in wild white spray.
Being there, for me.
Self-pity scatters when
your rays touch my heart.
Crossing cursed obstacles
on a bridge of optimism.
Happiness dawns upon reflection:
"A worse bargain could've come".
Politely thankful I still
have the young gold god at my side.

I have to agree with the previous comment, no part is better than the other in this piece, but having said that, I love the wording in the first stanza, very strong imagery and emphasis which I feel is strengthened and tied together by the last stanza. Excellent.
Good write.
