The Sun Shines

A pal was talking about how he wanted to simply have positive impact by being himself, but not be attached to who is impacted in any certain way. I was thinking how the sun shines and doesn't dictate how anyone receives its rays, as if it could say, "You over there get a tan, and you over there - receive some Vitamin D." No ... the sun just shines.

The sun shines, it shines, it’s all it ever does
The sun’s identity – all it is and all it ever was 
Remains … it remains … never restricted or restrained
Never lessoned, never censored, never detained 
No matter day or night in some other distant land
No matter what astronomers come to understand 
No matter clouds that come to block radiant rays 
No matter the history found in the ancient of days
The sun shines, it shines, though planets may make their move
There is no need to justify, no one to convince, nothing to prove
The sun shines 
 
Also not detained or restrained, there is another that remains
Right there, at your own center … your love is the same
No matter the bitter blows that arrive in this mystery shitshow
No matter the barriers and roadblocks that come and go
No matter the manipulation of mind, the raping of souls
No matter the gradual deterioration, or the moss that grows  
It is there to be known, to be expressed, not repressed 
Even if distress covers the light with a murky and muddy mess 
Your love shines, with no need to impact or impress 
But simply because at your genesis, you were blessed 
The love shines 
 
And so it is – from the beginning of eternity and beyond 
A divine union created from the one sure bond
No need for magic wand, just a magician with a miracle to bring
A path you veered from, a song you forgot to sing
But it is not ever truly lost, it cannot be
As long as you have a heart longing to be free 
As long as your soul is intact, at the center of your self 
As long as love’s warmth allows the hardened ice to melt 
As long as every lie you learned is released into mist
Making way for the light that illuminates you in eternal bliss
The sun shines 
The sun shines
