Icarus

You’ve given me the gift of golden wings

The endless sphere of blue imaginings

The chance to rise above the silver clouds

The will to cast off untold ghostly shrouds

 

Don’t fly too high

Don’t rise too fast

Don’t tease the sky

Don’t taunt the past

 

You’ve given me the hope of warmer days

The blessed kiss of the sun’s fiery rays

The breeze to fan passion’s spark to a fire

The slow burning coals of glowing desire

 

Don’t get too near

Don’t burn too hot

Don’t play with fear

Don’t tempt your lot

 

You’ve given me the seed of unborn dreams

The fairy tale of “once upon a time”

The wish to ride bare back on white moon beams

The spell to enchant beauty’s hidden rhyme
