I Am the Sun.

Once,

I
was
known
as
Ra,
glorified, deified
and ratified in excellence.

I was
'the creator of all
that is and is not yet…
the father of fathers and the mother
of mothers.'

I was the
'God of the living
and my brother Osiris
the God of the Dead.'

I do many things.

Nay,
do not worship me
as the son worshipers did,
and the sun-worshipers of today
do.

I do many things.

I have been
duly worshiped
by the scene of
the falcon,
and do not need more
sacrifices made.

I do many things.

Perhaps I led you to
monotheism.

I give life;
see the nurturing
of your greenery
and the warmth
on your face.

I take life;
see death
quiet
even in my
brightness.

You behold my
arising
joyfully.

I bring to you the
start of many things,

and end them
at eventide.

I am sought
in solitude
and the close
of day.

Even then
I am not
gone

but

live on

in the shimmer of
earth's moon.

I have
a life
too.

I can span only
so much
time.

While I am here
I will
give you what
I can.

For righteous
or
adverse.

I am the Sun.

I am.

Can you live
without
me?
