The Bottom Line We hold within us passion like the power of a thousand bursting suns where Phoenix spread their fire and fly.
A writer's corner, huh? Well, this is something I did not expect. It's certainly welcome, though. Let me know what you think of this. It was written on and off between late 2001 and early 2002. Hope ya like it... Sunburst High above where eye meets sky Where winged ones fly, there lies A sun whose light shall shine Should anyone wish to gaze. Boiling on its surface, the sun waits For millions of years, overlapping billions of years. It waits for one moment, where it will Spread its fire and fly. Low below where my eyes see In crowded places of my youth People whose light dims, captivating no one I wonder if anyone notices or cares? Boiling on its surface, the crowd waits For as long as history recalls, beyond even that It waits for one moment, where it will Spread its fire and fly. And the sun will set and rise, rise and set Among these people who will never gaze Into its bright and stunning eye. And the people rest and rise, rise and rest Below this sun that will never wonder When they will spread their fire and fly. In a house, in any house, there we will gather ‘round And wonder how we have been brought to where we are Could we have turned and walked on different roads In different skins, in different times? In the sky, elsewhere than Earth, the sun will sit And know when it’s time, For there can be no other time than what it feels. The time is right for changing, and it grows. And from beneath its flesh, there will come a power Of something more than I could know, And from it will there be a white-hot sunburst, a phoenix will draw its wings, showering flames its beauty a sight never seen. And below, we will gather ‘round Where we have laughed and cried and screamed and dreamed. Though we do not understand or know how we have come here We hold within us passion like the power of A thousand bursting suns Where Phoenix spread their fire and fly. (c)2002, John P. Dunphy  |
