Glistering light, bathed in it as you do
I try to ruminate, how is it like
To live in the \'limelight\'
To leafen, thrive, by just absorbing light
Yes, Light! with some ground, air and water
You extrapolate upwards to the skies!
Occupying ever more space to capture it
The mysterious, selfless bond between you and the sun
3.5billion years ago this union forged
Way, way, way before the exploiters at the scene
You blossomed and you give, give and give
Donned with that evergreen, one-piece ensemble
You stood defenseless, yet resilient
Taking on the most benevolent tasks of all living
Air, food, fuel, shelter, wood
You gave your all; quietly, patiently and strenuously!!
To the apathetic exploiters
Never a tinge of complaint, a quaver of discontent, a time of rest
How does it taste? This drinking of light??
Sour, salty or plain bitter?? This really is an acquired taste..
Do you rest as darkness falls, or do you simply work, when light beacons?
Do you have a preference, sunlight vs lamplight? Do they \'taste\', different??
The breeze stirred, your shadow fades
I tried hiding behind your greeny shield, away from the raying light
Basking under you, in the cool autumn winds, I can\'t help but question a spiritual conundrum
A romantic I am, could there be a reminiscent, a vague cycle between
us and you?
To stand guard and burn, under the fiery light, in our afterlife?
To give back, repent, for our human deeds
To let light drench our every pore
purify our dark ex-human edge..
A part 2, of our time on earth?
