Fascinated from an early age by the glowing ball of light a deep attraction to the star above

warm and sweet, always there to comfort

deeply warned to never stare directly into the sun but her gaze kept steering to the sky

the rarest of connections

“-Oh take me!”

she cried to the shimmer in the clouds

my soul belongs to thee, life giver, almighty fire this dark earth, I hate it

was all she felt behind her scorching eyes

I’ll join your ranks, stare I must ‘til you take my hand

The world became so vague stroboscopic reality

blinks and flashes rained

still content with a smile endured

Her idea to join the light

no one knows where it came from but with loyalty like that

comes a price, unimaginable even thou everyone tried

to persuade her different, she persisted as her pupil caught the beams

deep inside she felt alive

From blur to complete blindness, she’s stumbling around

“-Now all I have is darkness!”, poor Iris screamed and cried she felt the sun was shining and touching her pale skin

but to her heartfelt sorrow, unable to be seen

Fascinated from an early age by the glowing ball of light a deep attraction to the star above

warm and sweet, always there to comfort

deeply warned to never stare directly into the sun but her gaze kept steering to the sky

the rarest of connections

“-Oh take me!”

she cried to the shimmer in the clouds

my soul belongs to thee, life giver, almighty fire this dark earth, I hate it

was all she felt behind her scorching eyes

I’ll join your ranks, stare I must ‘til you take my hand

Fragments of vision all gone, sacrificed

she felt betrayed, the damage stole her precious light the thing she hated is now her all

the thing she wanted stole her eyes and gave her nothing

Not even shadows can penetrate the black she’s in her journey to the light, a feeble dream not realized

she felt the sun was shining and touching her pale skin but to her heartfelt sorrow, unable to be seen
