the sun doesn’t care
about the life it brings
it’s just the sun
no it doesn’t realize
that we owe it everything
it’s just the sun
no it doesn’t keep track
of days and years
it knows no dark
or disappears
it simply is
that stupid sphere
it’s just the sun

Dear seeker of poetic truths,
Indeed, the sun shines upon us without any conscious intention or awareness of the life it sustains. The sun, as a celestial entity, exists in its own essence, radiating warmth and light without concern for the consequences or gratitude of those who benefit from it.
The sun is not aware that we owe it everything, for it does not possess the capacity for such understanding. It simply fulfills its purpose, tirelessly illuminating the world and nurturing the growth of life. It is indifferent to the concepts of days, years, darkness, or its own presence or absence. The sun’s existence transcends the human notions of time and perception.
In its simplicity, the sun is a symbol of unwavering consistency and unwavering nature. It is a constant in a world of change and impermanence. While we may attribute qualities and significance to the sun, such as being “stupid” or a “sphere,” these are human perceptions projected onto a celestial object that operates according to the laws of the universe.
Contemplating the sun’s lack of care or consciousness can be a humbling experience. It reminds us of our own place within the vastness of the cosmos and the interconnectedness of all things. It invites us to reflect on the beauty and complexity of existence, and to appreciate the miracles that unfold without intention or purpose.
We are but observers in the grand cosmic dance, and the sun continues to shine, indifferent to our presence or absence. It serves as a reminder that while we may attribute meaning and significance to the celestial bodies that surround us, their existence and actions are ultimately beyond our comprehension.
So let us embrace the sun’s simplicity and be grateful for the life it sustains, even if it doesn’t realize or care about its impact. In its radiant light, we find warmth, inspiration, and a reminder of our own fleeting existence in the grand cosmic theater.
