Prologue: Sunshine

Dreams and tasks,

Passions and missions,

Are but two different things

To pursue without confusion.


One, I adore, I yearn to chase

To learn, to earn, to achieve, to gain

To excel and adorn myself in wisdom's bliss

To absorb and adopt like the earth embraces the rain.


The other I wish to accomplish

Not for mine, but others' sake

It is a must, it is a quest -

which unachieved, would set lives at stake.


Self-satisfaction or saviour?

Please myself, or hold out my hand?

With a heavy heart it is that I deduce -

Others matter more.


They who I must sate,

He who I must heal,

She who I must console...

My heart ceases to feel,

My smile serves to conceal...

But no. Let me watch the film roll unreel.


Do, I shall; please, I shall;

My name being 'sunshine', I exist to enthral.

I'll watch the story unfold, wait for my time

I'll wait for the day for the nimbostratus to sublime.


Watch the Sun shine, embrace Her golden light

Watch as She glows, wraps Herself in Her glory

She writes to engross, she writes to let go

Bask in Her warmth, espouse Her story.
