A Child's Curiosity

Why doesn't the sun get wet,
when from ocean it arises?
After illuminating the mermaids' world,
how does it stay dry?

And why does he boil his blood?
For his face into red turns
at sunset
when into the ocean he finally returns?

And then comes she,
to eradicate my fright,
conquring the darkness,
with her radiant light.

My heart gives into woes,
after watching the demon's edificatioin
on the moon, who miraculously grows,
perhaps due to stars' motivation?

The vast blue sky isn't empty at all,
it is where my imagination is born,
and it is where it falls,
due to a random car's horn.

What do they talk, the sky and the land,
when they meet at the end of the ocean.
May be a clever plan,
to placate the angry sun?

Perhaps I should ask a bird to fly,
high into the sky
to the abode of sun
and pose to him  the question-why?

And then request it to fly,
to moon to convey my 'thanks'
and finally to the land and sky
and ask it to spy on them!

Every body has that chidlike nature, deep suppressed, within them. It is just my childlike curiosity. The Sun, The Moon, The Land and The Sky, nothing escapes the thoughtful and questioning nature of a kid!
