Icarus - Mephisto Walz

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
