His hubris too great,
Setting himself for failure
Too close to the sun
Arrogance on fire,
His spirit in his hands…
Too close to heaven,
A battle raging, ignited,
Icarus fell, crashing,
His wings ablaze,
His spirit in his hands…
Feathers falling
In fire of heaven
Lost in his misery,
Staring at the light,
His spirit in his hands…
