Standing in the sunlight Warmness on my face The brightness nearly blinds vision I lick the beams to test their taste Just for contemplation I wonder at the experienced sight Of standing on a sun's molten seas Where light forbids the night Burning with such ferocity In the middle of the cold dark matter Where a single touch may move a ton Great held truths may begin to shatter But I am merely staring at the sun And a simpler day had started Outside the lids of the closed eyes.
