Icarus

Dreaming, and seeing,
Finding, retrieving.
Forming the clouds
From wax. Believing…
Holding them there,
Gently with care,
“They’ll open the skies!
We shall travel by air!”
Not land nor sea;
Now they are free!
Father and son,
No limits to see…
One moment flying,
Then falling and dying…
Icarus dead,
Daedalus crying…
