A poem of a person touching the sun.
In the realm where dreams intertwine,
Resides a pure and beautiful soul.
With a daring heart and fiery eyes,
They unashamedly reach for the skies.
Their pursuit is audacious, their spirit sublime,
Touching the sun, kissing the azure clime.
On wings of ardent desire they soar,
A dance of light, celestial choir.
But in their quest, they ventured too far,
The sun's embrace left a scorching scar.
Their bodies charred, their spirits weep,
As they plummet from the sky's fiery keep.
Their forms fall like meteors descending,
Leaving a trail of lament and ending.
At last, they find repose,
The touch of flame, their final close.
Yet in their demise, a lesson learned,
For those who dare, who yearn.
Even the sun, in its omnipotence,
Can end the bravest flight's incandescence.
So let us cherish the light we possess,
Live each day as if it's the last caress.
For life is fleeting, death assured,
But love and courage, they endure
