Eighteenth part of the [21 Elements] project, inspired by Final Fantasy Type-0 (Reishiki). I'm playing the game!

This poem is dedicated to [Juan Bernardo P. Calvo], the rod-wielder of the element...

LXXXVIII

SUN

Illumination

Divide into half

The eye that looks

The eye that stares

Into my being

Present time

Both will exist

Both will deny

Weave of hope

Hear my laughter

From the skies

Hear my pain

Watch me suffer

Cry and bleed

From above

Shine on me

Weave of joy

Sing with praises

From above

Exaltations

Lamentations

Sing with life

Keep on shining

Till we die

Weave of blessings

Endlessly

Shine like fire

Over me

Fall like curses

Of regret

From above

Hear my lies

Weave of radiance

From above

Golden glitters

Touch like diamonds

Touch like knives

Piercing lances

Shine with power

Upon me

Weave of infinity

One more time

Shine with meaning

From above

Of existence

Non-existence

What persistence

Will remain?

Weave of time

Clothe my freedom

With your shine

From above

Bind my wishes

Into one

Merge my choices

Into one

Illumination

Divide into half

What futures to make?

What futures to take?

What futures will see

Past my weakness

And let me go

Along the way

Illumination

Divide into half

What will further

What will stop

Great observer

From the sky

I cease to be,

When do I die?
