She was like the Sun

She was like the Sun,

in the way she lit up the world

She was like the Sun,

 in the way her warmth could be felt without contact

She was like the Sun,

 never failing to give some light despite dark clouds

She was like the Sun even in the way she moved,

 never staying still, never staying put

She was like the Sun in so many ways,

with a light that could heal as well as hurt

Everything all at once

A danger and a blessing,

Liquid molten and sweet honey

She was like the Sun in many ways,

one minute there, one minute gone

But the Sun is a Star,

and a Stars death is as violent as it's birth

Just like the Sun she disorientated

Just like the Sun,

She lit fires

Just like the Sun, 

she was too bright and too intense

Just like the Sun she burnt and left a mark

She was just like the Sun,

demanding to be felt

She was like the Sun even in the way she left,

leaving behind a puzzle to solve, a novel to read, a masterpiece to inspect...

A melting Rainbow...

and bittersweet regret.
