Have you ever tasted the sun?
Felt tongue laden with rays of light
Gloriously incandescent ambrosia
Which pours leisurely down your throat
Illuminating heat with consistency like honey
Spreading warmth to mind, body and soul
Reigniting the self, I had eagerly abandoned
When I was a sickly man afraid of the light
Whose future was a foregone conclusion
Not worth lamenting over alone in the dark
Now again I find myself taming a restless flame
I had once snuffed out in fear of it burning me
Because I would rather burn than go out quietly
I chose agony and euphoria over emotional numbness
Today may be the day I see my talents bloom
Because today I feel gloriously incandescent
Today I am the sun
