Soaring Into the Sun

"Don't fly too close to the sun my child,
Your wings will melt and burn."
This may be a lesson
That I, myself should learn.

The big bright burning ball of flame,
Ablaze with your beaming grin.
Lures me to my certain end,
And calls me from within.

I cannot resist answering,
Its tempting invitation.
Its promises of happiness,
A forever of elation.

I must get closer to the flames,
To feel their blistering heat.
To feel their warmth upon my skin,
So deadly yet so sweet.

My wings may melt and I may fall,
So long as you are there,
To catch me when I fall from grace,
Into the sun I'll dare.
