Illusion:

1 0 0
                                    

Beaming down at us
He lights
The Earth
With his warmth

Sometimes he's too close
Or too far
He moves
With the seasons

He just wants some fun
He's lonely
Alone
In our skies

The stars are too far,
And the Moon?
Too close
He would burn us.

He drifts closer
Realizes
Backs off
But it takes time

He drifts farther
We get cold
But he
Can't stay away

The middle is perfect
Hardly seen
Fall, spring
But then it's gone

It's all an illusion
He's stuck
Rotating
A ball of gas
