"Icarus"

i kissed the sun 

i felt it.

i was given wings 

and i jumped.

but now

i bore a thousand warnings

of what happens when you fly too fast 

too far 

too frenzied

too careless 

too close to the sun.

but let me tell you a secret

i am no cautionary tale.

i flew

and i kissed the sky.

i knew the stars 

not as dreams, but as friends.

i burned 

and i burned brightly.

i lived 

and then i died.

life is not lost if it’s lived.

the grass has felt your tears 

and your footsteps.

caught your fallen dreams 

let you peacefully roam. 

the grass is plentiful

it is kind.

the sky burns

it melts me away.

but before i was nothing.

if for that i must fall 

then fall i must.

but i touched the sun

and you could too.

i kissed the sun 

i felt it.

i was given wings 

and i jumped.

but now

i bore a thousand warnings

of what happens when you fly too fast 

too far 

too frenzied

too careless 

too close to the sun.

but let me tell you a secret

i am no cautionary tale.

i flew

and i kissed the sky.

i knew the stars 

not as dreams, but as friends.

i burned 

and i burned brightly.

i lived 

and then i died.

life is not lost if it’s lived.

the grass has felt your tears 

and your footsteps.

caught your fallen dreams 

let you peacefully roam. 

the grass is plentiful

it is kind.

the sky burns

it melts me away.

but before i was nothing.

if for that i must fall 

then fall i must.

but i touched the sun

and you could too.
