Flight of Daedelus

a girl dumped me, and a few nights later i dreamed i was daedelus, (weird huh) but in the dream she was the sun, so i wrote this. at the time i was angry and pondering revenge for my hurt.

 

its time i face tomorrow, with yesterday gone, and today being burned away

i am daedalus in my dreams, creation is mine, lest i fly too high

the sun beats on my wings, as i ascend

closer, i come to the destination i have chose

and things change

as my heart is froze

how can this be? so close to the sun

my wings are melting

and i fall away

farther than i could have known

the earth no longer beneath me

the steady beat has stopped

 my breath has shallowed

a million images flash before me

they show the possibilites

i hear singing in the distance

beyond my eyes

can this be?

this emptiness cannot be filled with joyous clatter

what songs do they sing?

i could never understand their disposition

its not mine to know

my descent continues

i am not afraid, there is no end

the earth has dissappeared, and i am floating in nothingness

everything can be exressed as zeros or ones

i am one

everything else is zero

suddenly i am closer to the sounds

it is Fate

she sings to me the Song of Loneliness

a song i know too well

we sing together, this somber melody

her tears become notes on the page

her cold fingers rip into my already broken wings

and i descend yet again

i do not fear falling forever

i will mend the wings of destiny

and fly once more

i will use the fabric of dreams

and the feathers of solace

and the binding of existence

i will soar higher than ever

and the earth that once was

will be again

and i will fly high over it

ascending towards the sun once again

closer than ever

it will lash out at me

attempting to burn me once more

my destination beyond the sun

a place i have never been before

"you will not stop me bright star

my will is too strong

i will have my revenge

and your brightness will fade

darkness will surround you

and you will sing the Song of Loneliness

long after i have passed your fires,

joy will leave you,

and your light will follow me

to my destination unknown,

i will bend your light and be the architect of happiness

i am daedalus, and creation is mine once more!"
