| Icarus Flying |
|
|
|
by Doug Tanoury

The skies cold blue against white wings
As I fly above the clouds
Waxen arm extended
Feathers dancing in the wind
As I ride the jetstream
Corkscrewing up
In ever growing spirals
Leaving my past life
The normal and ordinary
To crawl about the ground
And all my earth bound friends
Leaning back their heads to watch
Squinting and shielding their eyes
Until I vanish and wink from site
Alone and invisible
I am reborn
In the ice cold reaches
Of the upper atmosphere
And if my wings fail now
I know I can only fall upward
Into the far deep blue of heaven
