Journey to the Sun
by Dr. Stewart Bitkoff
How foolish I have been.
Like a moth that tried to fly
To close to the candle’s flame, got singed
And returned, wanting to share with others
This life changing event:
Being united, embracing his Love.
I too have been altered
By the Light of another Flame.
Now, wandering on this street corner,
Fumbling to tell my story to anyone who will listen.
Worst than laughter, I am ignored
And left alone, to silently remember;
My brief Journey to the Sun.
Perhaps, I will stand quietly
Reliving that glorious hour
When, for an instant, I touched Infinity.
Yet the pain and distance
Of not going further
Still tears away at my heart,
Not letting me rest.
Alone- left to limp along,
Living in yesterday’s rapture and pain;
Continually calling out to my Beloved:
When will you touch my heart, again?
