Into the Sun

One peered into the sun

   as if to see the stars

And found the source of all

   the quiet noise of light

As if to see the souls delight

   but finding no one there

Seeking still the wind of love

   in the belly of the globe

The orb revealed its content bare

   and said the same of me

When I looked into the sun

   to see what I could see

The fire was a burning

    and it, almost touched me

I got too close and saw the thing

    that I wanted to see

And yet again I strove to see

     beyond what was to be

In future tense I came to see

    a man forlorn and free

But seeking still the quiet me

    the man beyond the tree

That calls the heart too still to be

    into the sun not free

All is fair in love and war

   but no one told me

So yet again I seek to see

   into the sun that’s free

The want of life

   the need to be

The suns soul and more

    to need the mind in thee

Having seen the fire

    scorching me

I saw the sun explode

    within the thing

The mind and heart

   escaped the song

Only to be free and far

    away,…. from the sun
