Why Icarus Fell

I'm Icarus with hand-made wings of gold

I leapt from that window without hesitation

I flew and flew so close to the sun

But it's heat burned me

It melted the glue holding my feathers together

And so I fell

In love with you

I knew what awaited me once I jumped

I soared like a bird

And dropped like an anchor

But what they don't know

Is that I grinned as I shed my wings

I was free falling into your embrace

After purposely tasting the sun

I let myself burn

Because I knew what the fall would bring

Lexi - this is so beautiful. The wonder, the thrill of falling, literally falling in love. Best yet, knowing it will be alright.

Thank you for your write - take care - Dave
