Sun Block

You are like the sun.
When I get too close,
Things start to get hot.
I shake and tremble.
I know that if I get too close,
I’ll get burned, fall,
And crash back down to earth.

So, I come as near as I dare.

You, like the sun, brighten my day
And warm my heart.
Love filters in through the window of my soul.
But like the sun,
You are your own entity, eminent and distant.
And though you reach me,
I cannot reach you.
