Downfall

By Malice In Wonderland

so in love with
Icarus
waxen winged
silver spirit

dancing in the skies

[somewhere]

that

she

kept him best
cacooned in his
apex
of perfection

    The old gods hold so much meaning and purpose, even today. Though some may call them dead, how do they continue to inspire us to little acts of greatness, like this poem. The old religions are a welcome a(i)llusion/metaphor these dark days. Well written, Kya. +tpu+
