no mystery in this

[fledgist]

when giver and given are one and the same
we wonder how to tell the two apart
which takes which aspect and which name
are matters of a fine and subtle art
repeated questions do not make things clear
but answers change in tone with wind and weather
whether the day is rainy or set fair
the two are one but yet are not together
the gift once given cannot now return
but still remains with the original giver
at once to be united but to yearn
for fusion like the waters of a river
here is some hope and clear and bright the sun
together we're apart and yet are one
