You are the sea, I am the sun

The sea
Tranquil and at ease
Aware of the shimmering mirage
On its restless waves
From it’s warmth
It felt the sun

Why? it wondered
And asked the the warm one
While you play among my waves
you turn me
Into a cloud
Answer me oh mighty Sun!

Why may I ask
Do I drift as a cloud in the breeze
Cover the sky
And mask your light
Turn dark and broody
As I clump into one

Why do I split then
into many and fall
Splashing on pavements and grass
just when I was
Happy in a cloud
Having my little fun

Why do I suffer
the pain
As I fall as rain
And flow over rocks
Scouring to make my own path
Always on the run

Why do I tire
get polluted
By my own doing, or of other’s sin
I feel sluggish and filthy
When I reach my end
When I am done

There in the end
I am back where I started
Starting from me
Pouring out back into me
I live this cycle over and over again
Aren’t you the one to blame,
O mighty Sun

Fiery yet calm
Sun spoke through the rays
of the pristine dawn.
I float in the dark emptiness
Throwing out light
From here, everything I can see

I burn
Holding the raging fire
In my bosom
the turmoil within
In the light and the heat
Is there for everyone to see

Oh serene one
Only you
turn into mist
At my touch
the mountains remain
The plants grow
flowers smile in glee

My fiery rays
feel balmy warm
embraced by all it touches
Some flourish, some wilt
Each one guided
By their nature, none are free

I am not to be blamed
Neither I claim any fame
It’s for them to wilt or flourish
I don’t nourish
neither punish
It is for me to just burn

You are
the cloud, rain and the river
Wistful, flowing and wet
change is your nature
Yet always
Into the sea you return

We are both
cursed and blessed
You evaporate
I burn
You are the sea
I am the sun
