Icarus

Initially burned by the sun, I sank from the clouds and crashed to the earthen flames of dispair.

As I burn, the sun watches helpless as the planets circle like vultures. 

But the sun burns brightly, and the planets keep a safe distance. 

Not me.

I rise again, fueled by the Light and will myself to take wing; a Phoenix returning to the burning fury that had once knocked me down.

Now, aflame myself, I touch the sun. My heart melts. I am yours.
