Welcome Back Poem by Paul Reed

With blinding glare the sun re-emerges
Where has it hidden amongst the dirges?
Streaming through grey veils of gloom
Bringing the darkness to it's doom

Some other planet it must have warmed
Whilst round the candles our mankind swarmed
Some other heart it must have lifted
Whilst we through brighter memories sifted

So welcome back our fiery neighbour
No longer through the night we labour
Stoke up the earth's boilers once again
Remove the blot of the black sky's stain
