Sunlight oh mighty raging heat of life
Sought and revered and abhorred
You are who, to whoever reacts in extremes
Understood by your consequences
Engendering death engendering life
To them whose crops life depends
You are god
Them who trade in desert lands
You are evil
Pleasant when a gust of wind
Serenades your afternoon hue
Vilest when the rustle of water
Ebbs underneath the earth
You are near, ever present
Yet we could approach you not
Far yet not too far
We compare thee to that yonder star
You are spoken of from time ever since
Yet defined in the present moment’s feel
Drawn in pages of greatest artists past
Yet you are the color now of this leaf
Diverse yet constant
Vast yet ever fixed in the sky
Seen and felt whilst life itself exists,
Yet not fully known
Like thine Creator, you are who you are.
