Many early mornings to the south
I see a rising pillar of white cloud
superimposed, in frost or fickle sun,
on fading stars or rainbow-borrowed blue.
Like that in the Testament this sign
shows presence of unseen, upholding power:
an ark of electricity which warms
and cools and unifies each hearth and heart.
It does not move or nightly shine with fire–
its deep reactor rages silently
as moderated, unconsumed, it glows
invisibly in covenant restraint.
Decided to go with the engineering/political this time - the Sun, for all its virtues, will never replace my little neighborhood star-in-an-Ark... it's dependable in broad terms, but not for keeping the household running. Every county should have one - and not a big-time plant that requires a lake to cool it, like mine!
