Icarus

Into the heavens rise towards the sun
Heavens calling
Away from desires filling with glee
Gossamer wings

Charging emotions make waves like the oceans
And crash on your shores, mortal wounds pour from you
Faulter in cautions and heed not the warnings
Into the skies soar, upward for the moment

Soaring weightless distant and blue
Gliding through
Nothing to follow, no holds or restraints
Drifting true

Feathered unruffled, sad twice removed
Perilous and new
Sun on my shoulders, wings spread beneath
Carefree flings

Though winged and immortal
Each upward draft electrifies
No measure of freedom
Or light in my eyes, circling the sky
