An Ode to Dawn

The sun has risen again,
Hiding the moon much behind;
But the earth who's their child now,
Can't live without the mother,
Nor the father.

'Tis dawn on earth now, and this child
Knows he is split into half, how?
He sees his father rise above,
In light and languid glory;
But catches a breath and turns behind,
To listen to his mother's quiet forlorn story.

Sleep, people sleep here,
In her lap with a lucid lullaby.
Dream, people dream here,
Counting stars in the Prussian high.

Moon, she thinks now she shows not
Her silver shiny skin no more.
Does she know or she knows not?
Her calm crystal glistens
Only for the sun's little roar.

Dawn has just begun now,
On this other brighter side.
I hope it's a long day for the cow...
To milk and graze, and moo and raise;
Fight for the children and fend their ways.

The sun keeps shining, still hoping for a day,
When mother moon will come strolling
With jasmines on her way;
Holding his hand and his sigh,
In a sparkling supernova sky.

Think of me

Think of me...
As a river;
Not made of water,
But fire.

Thick molten lava,
Oozing out from
Every orifice of mine,
Making me look like a demon.

A monster so horrid,
My self could tremble.
This fire so fearful...
Is what makes me, my soul.

Like blood, sweat, shit and vomit,
When we see out in the open ~
Although so terrifying, repulsive, filthy and ugly,
'Tis what makes us mortal.

Think of me...
As a cloud;
Not made of rain,
But thunder.

Think of me...
As a blade of grass;
Not made of soil,
But of earth so blue.

Think of me...
As a black sheep;
Not made of any wool so black,
But colors that cannot be seen.

In the eyes of the beholder blind,
None the light reaches not
From my fur and my hide.
'Tis what makes me black; thus they call...

Think of me...
As a thought;
Not made of the past,
But the present.

Think of me...
As not the man;
But the spirit,
Who giveth as much as it taketh.

Think of me...
As a mirror;
Not an inch more,
Nor an ounce less.

Think of me...
As that is all I can give;
A moment to behold,
A moment to live.
