The Closer I Get To The Sun

( a Quatern )
 
The closer I get to the sun,
Perfection isn’t meant for me.
I know this as I breathless run
The marathon of Life to be.
 
So much I haven’t seen or found,
The closer I get to the sun.
As hands of Time are slowing down,
The hands of God are never done.
 
In seconds left before there’s none,
I’ll be like specks of Saturn rings.
The closer I get to the sun,
Will be a cosmos beckoning.

The solar winds will ever blow.
Together, melt, become as one
When death is drifting in like snow,  
The closer I get to the sun.
