Too Bright

Too close to the sun

he flew

Too much

I wanted from you

The earth waits to catch us

as we tumble towards it

the sea winks and waves

the hills cup their hands

the trees raise their arms

I close my eyes

ready for the impact

But the sun is burned

to brightly onto my eyelids

the fatal embrace of the ground

cannot make me forget

the brightness I have known
