Ra


 

Ra

Your eyes dawn on me

As I dawn on you

Your existence dark without

Your purpose bound in me


You owe your thanks to me

I give you all your credence

Without me you are lost

Disposable, at best


You want me to care

To sling my arm through yours

That others might see

Our camaraderie and rapport


Hordes clamber to shake my hand

But I’m weary of this pledge

I see in the trembling eyes

Faltering faith, distrust


So after all I’ve given you

I’ll take away, full stop

Your meaningless without my nod

Don’t misstep around this God
