Icarus
When Icarus flew over the great vast sky He forgot about himself That his wings were made only of wax and feathers of some other living thing The sun blinded him With its beauty and Commanded him to come forth Which he did And so he soared How he soared He forgot the tenets his father pleaded him never to forget, which he did But he soared, he flew towards that blinding ball of light and tasted sunlight with all its glory and might Until his feathered and waxed wings gave up and melted Into his mortality And he fell deep into the vast ocean And drowned. But at least Before he died He let the sun blind his eyes At least He tasted life... -MAY 26, 2013- Photo Credit: http://www.photo-zen.com/scotland-hebrides-seagulls-photographs.html
