The Sun and the Flower


The Sun could have stared at the young Man for hours But he did not have to thanks to his powers He gave himself a human form and to Earth he flew He decided to spend time with the Man for a few The two fell in love and now were together They thought they would be through any type of whether Then Wind came along and fall he did too With the young man who for the Sun's love was true Jealousy overtook the Wind like a storm And through these emotions something was born A rage like no other overtook the Wind's mind He decided 'that Man's heart shall be neither yours nor mine' And so one day while the lovers were running about They decided to play with a discus they had lying around The Wind saw his opportunity and then Spun the discus around where it struck the Man's head Mourn the sun did and the wind did too For now neither one knew what to do The Sun was enraged and so the wind flew Now you know their story and what not to do
