Look at the sky
See the the mid day Summer Sun
It shines brightly, illuminating our day
Slowly, clouds begin to form
The Sun loses it's luster and power
No, it is not any less powerful
To our eyes in this created world
It is being diminished by
The dark clouds as they roll in
Obscuring the Sun's rays
A flash of lightening! Thunder!
We cover our ears, we hide
Cowering in dreaded fear
As rain falls from the collision
Of gaseous substances
Forming many faceted formations
A conflict of light and dark
A battle, a struggle, conflict and collision
Then, as in a sweet dream, calm
The battle is ended, the Sun again appears again
Dew rises to the heavens, birds do sing
The Earth gives thanks to the process of creation
As the water which fell upon the Earth
Attracts light so as to nourish the ground
As we come to our senses, relieved
We regain our heart from that archetypal memory
Inspired in the days of our primordial era
The clouds retreat, a painting is viewed across the palate of eternity
What beauty, what symmetry, light and dark blending and mixing
It cannot be any other way
We are what we are, the universe is as it is
Rather than think we know, accept what we know
Without the confluence of light and dark
Sans that eternal struggle between the two opposing forces
Our consciousness would have nothing to inspire us
Nothing to think about, nor gaze upon
We would be as inanimate matter, a rock or a dead piece of wood
It is our destiny to become one with the light
Our soul returning to it's source
So that even the storm cloud will know it too, has a purpose
Then let it rain on the body of matter
We eventually leave behind
As that too, must return to it's source and essence
And we will be freer than the clouds or the wind
Who will look upon us with envy as we fly to the heavens
Now, do you realize how special you are?
