I just wanted to kiss the Sun

Enchanted by your light, your warmth, your smile, I

Climbed and climbed as far as I could climb,

Looking down I saw I'd climbed too high, but

I only wanted to kiss the Sun!

People always told me I was never good enough, you see, but the

Sun beckoned, and encouraged by Venus I climbed and I was there

Exactly for four and a half minutes, me, kissing the Sun

Thank you for reading my poem. I was inspired by this picture of the eclipse and Venus my dad took on his phone at the Sierra Madre. Over the pang of jealousy, I felt genuine joy at knowing that many of my family members were able to meet there for the eclipse!

If you liked my work, a comment, heart or insight would be much appreciated. A tip would be welcome, too, if you feel so inclined.
