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?
