Things the Sun Didn't Teach Me

Among the things in Nature

that can be learned from the ground,

there are many.

The Sun did not teach me, but I knew

that flowers bloom, and

that fires spark, and

that showers pour, and

that forests breathe, and

that there was life in all these things.

It was not until I was a bird in the sky

though,

that I could see life for its truth:

a spell being cast twice a day.

 

Magic escapes the place

where the Earth meets the Sky,

where fire comes to play;

a bursting flower of flame.

The Sun taught me

about Horizon’s Gates.

It is the beginning, it is the end,

and it is the continuation

of all life.

 

Yesterday I was a man,

today I am a bird, and

tomorrow, when I am a fallen star,

I will meet you there,

at the hub of the new world,

at Horizon’s Gates.
