Ode to the Sun
A flash, it's bright.
The fog in my head clears.
Breathe taking, it has no equal.
Stunned, dazed, disoriented, and infatuated
I smile back to keep my jaw from dropping.
How could I be so lucky?
A flash, it lacks luster.
The fog in my head clears
Who caused this? They'll pay.
The curse of tears and sadness descends
So many words I could use to comfort her.
What kind of a human would I be if I didn't try?
Men die for the corrupt ideals of a nation.
I die for a flawless unrewarding ideal.
By an accident of birth I met her.
Seeing that bright flash just once was enough
But to have it directed at me?
Gives me a hubris that rivals the gods.
She asks for the warm embrace of my friendship.
I give her the warm embrace of my love.
That flash again, so bright. What have I done to deserve it?
There are some things in life that change people.
There are some things in life that inspire muses.
What would I do for that smile to shine?
I would hunt the world for perfection of words.
I would scavenge the universe for clarity of heart.
I would defy tyrants, kings, and rulers all.
Step into a battlefield unarmed preaching peace and salvation.
Sacrifice myself for the world.
I would dear to champion gods.
They say love is the greatest motivator of man.
I say that the desire for praise from the one we love is greater.
This world offers miracles in all forms.
I found the greatest miracle I could imagine.
Being acknowledged by a woman whose smile is brighter then the sun
