In the shimmering waters
I see her eyes and ways
But the Sun is in love
The same way I am

He talks to me of the strange problem.
“I love a human girl.”, he says.
And I can understand; I tell him so.

“But you can’t, really.”
And I say: “I know, the woman you love…
… will only live for an instant of your time.”
“Yes,” he says.
“But I will draw her to me when she passes…”
“That part, I understand. For even as a mortal…
… such things are known to us.”

In the shimmering of light on the waters.
I see her eyes and ways.
But I am in love.
Even with the Sun.
