Flight

By LostInTime

FLIGHT

Icarus,
Son of Daedulus the Technician
Hero in search of the proper ending
Unknown in life, remembered in death

Icarus,
Wings upon his back
Sailed into the blue fluid of the sky
Daring the Sun God to notice

Icarus,
Seeking immortality on wax wings
Mirrored glory in the suns glance
And the burning wind in his soul

Finally,
In annoyance the sun pushed Icarus away
And thrust him into the deep blue
Abyss
Of the




Sea
