Sun Modifies Dream

Sun Modifies Dream

Scorching flames of desires of the pantheon lick the wax

Engulfing and burning the scarred skin to gray ash

Eyes dry as the spirit modifies the torn spirit

Keep safe at all costs the heart and the soul

Even, as yet again the vapors solidify

Reaching every corner of the cosmos

Icarus escaped the labyrinth with his wings

Seeking for what no one understood

Down plunges the broken body below the waters

Emerging reborn above the surface like the phoenix

Alive is the warrior as he comes ashore the ashes fall

Desires of the poet override that of the pantheon's

Reviews

[Zaliodir]

As always, I love the description in you poetry. I can feel the words as I read them. I think this poem is about reaching for the visions of what we see despite what others, the 'pantheon', say we can and can't do. They do not see what we can see, and even if we do not reach the heights of our vision, yet we are reborn in the ashes of our fall. We triumph despite it all.

Thank you so much for reading and reviewing this poem. I am glad my meaning came across loud and clear.
