father icarus

I open my eyes

And I am full of joy

As I am now the world, as the world is now me

I feel as though I can fly

Ye winds, o'world, lift my mortal body through thine skies, I bark

Allow me to feast upon thine celestial bodies, o'world
And lap at the bosom of your fruitage

I plead
I plead
I plead

But alas

I begin to fall

Oh Icarus, brave father of mine
Did tears burn off your face as you fell?
And did you feel the embrace of the winds?
Oh Father
How I lusted and burned as you had
But I ask of you, Father
Did you too, feel the love of the whole world upon you?

Oh Father
As I fall I think only
Of the world below me
And it's beauty
And of my predecessors
And of my own naïveté
Of the world
That I am
That is me
