Searing heat of blazing furnace
 
Heat from distance most welcome
 
Snow clad, wind-torn mountain top 

Beautiful in sun

seen from warm valley below 

Sculpted surface of battered, airless moon 

Wonder in night sky from Earth 

Hold these things at a distance 

or suffer full pain the universe reserves 

for those who fly like Icarus
