Icarus

They said that I would burn,

But the sun is higher than they thought.

I have been in the skies ever since,

But have been here all alone.

For ever still they fear the light,

And hide in darkness below,

And I have never yet been free,

For I have been flying on my own.

I watch the people below with longing,

Wishing I could share this life with them.

Could but someone come with me,

To everywhere they cannot go.
