Like All The Great Ones Poem by Kyle Schlicher

Like All The Great Ones

Rating: 5.0


to do it and do it to the max.

to breathe the air of a supreme quality,

to burn white hot across the sky.

a human comet
lighting up the darkness.

to soar high, higher and higher
to reach heights few dare to chance.

to flame out,
come crashing down to earth
with a resounding thud.

to have an epitaph that says

WHAT SPLENDID GLORY!
