Icarus

PRELUDE TO ICARUS

In the mirror sits Janus 

Past and present and staring

A miniature land of trees

Singing melodically, sweetly

Can they survive for something is glaring

Dear priestess and her light

The answer flaring 

ICARUS ITSELF

Dissect the memory 

No ideas needed for the flight

Then we'll see everyday 

The illusions at play 

A prophet in the clearance

An astral seer in the moon ray

Give us love, let us say

Icarus and his disgrace

Confide in the mental lace

Applaud the violet tint of wings

The seeker sings of imagined springs

Confusion enters the void

Blue travels, blue ends

The black and white bring

The masses of peace on strings

We venture in perpetuum 

Around the spheres 

Variations of academic requiems

We hold the golden aurora 

Towards the cadence in the sky

The shy man has gone wry

Catch the distance in his eye

Icarus and his minnows 

Peculiar moods in the labyrinth

The heart of the sea captivates

Solids, liquids come to the terms

Retain all forms of Pasiphae 

Adjourn the stage, erect the sails

Lament the watery trails

Awaken the seasons

Drown in the route to freedom

The moon has sunk

The captain's melancholy ascends

Her voice is heard

Reveal the wings to the Athenian kings

Remember his light shining from the springs

An ancient song that Narcissus sings

A ritual to raise into the gilded rings
