Some Stars Burn Brightly


    A fusion-flash of inspiration before they stand at the peak


    They do not know how far they''ll go, how far their light will reachSupport creative writers by reading their stories on Royal Road, not stolen versions.


    But that''s not why they do it. Perhaps it''s just as well.


    That they do it not for us but do it for themselves.


    To prove simply that it can be done.


    To damn the naysayers. To just have fun.


    To forge the path. To light the way.


    Their trials another form of play.


    And now at sunset the track is laid


    Gone is one who''s welcome was never outstayed


    Now is for us to walk in giant''s footsteps


    To make the most of what they''ve left.
