The Sun: Tyrannt or Saint

The sun stands,
In a collage of space and time,
Where all that exists, exists;
And all that does not exist, doesn’t.
But we know not of this collage
Because of the sun.
He blinds us with only but his presence.
He is a tyrant of violence and anger.
He shines the whole sky to remind
Us of him, and his godliness.
However; with his compassion,
He leaves us, and reveals,
The collage of such beauty,
It is incomprehensible.
Father Sun also gives all life.
Without him, there would be bitter
Cold and blackness.
We should not think of him
As a tyrant, but as a saint.

This is an interesting topic that many have debated over for centuries. Is God a mighty tyrant lording his poewr over those who are at the mercy of his every whim? Or is he relly a benevolenet One Who lovingly watches his creation? I personally would say the latter. Tyrannical dictators don't care enough about their subjects to give of themselves. Neither are tyrants very forgiving.

I'm glad someone sees my poem from the same philosophical view as myself. Thank you :)

The true philosopher and the true poet are one, and a beauty, which is truth, and a truth, which is beauty, is the aim of both.

Ralph Waldo Emerson, American Poet (1803-1882)
