Joyride

I once floated towards the rising Sun,
Oh man, it was so much fun,
How did I ever think it couldn’t be done?

Even though for moments like that I always yearned,
I grew a little concerned,
As I didn’t want to get ‘sunburned’.


But it was such a smooth, joyful ride,
I mean, I was going upwards on an infinite, invisible slide,
So I just let go and let my heart be my guide.

As I felt its rays attach onto my skin,
I couldn’t help but devilishly grin,
Wider it grew, as they went deeper within,
As yet another battle over the darkness, the light would take a win.
