Borrowed sun

A change of thought and mind;
A change of heart and sign.
You put me through
A wave of emotions.
A hint of laughter;
A tinge of summer.
The brightest yellow,
The darkest sorrow.
Your beauty is deadly,
but satisfying.
Your warmth indulging
and down-right scorching.
A sunflower that follows
only the trail of the sun
And ignores the moon
that only borrows sunlight
to make itself known
and maybe bright.

If Europe has its star-crossed lovers, Romeo and Juliet, Japan and China (where the Tanabata Festival originated) have Orihime and Hikoboshi. Legend says that Orihime, the daughter of a god, had a job to weave elegant and beautiful clothes for the gods beside a river (Milky Way). And since this job requires a lot of time and effort, Orihime grew lonely. Seeing that his daughter is sad, her father arranged for her to meet a cow herder named Hikoboshi, who lived on the other side of the Milky Way. And just like any other love story we know, both fell in love at first sight and immediately got married. Orihime and Hikoboshi, after getting married, neglected their responsibilities. She stopped weaving clothes and he stopped herdin

It is everybody's responsibility to act and care for Mother Earth regardless of age. The first step in creating impact is awareness.
