Wild Are The Boys Of DuneA Poem by Earl SchumackerBoys driving off a cliff. Icarus and Daedalus still trying to reach the sun by flight.Wild Are The Boys Of Dune
Partnered with the light is ever darkness Where wild boys of dune collect themselves In chariots of steel inside the mind Cocooned from what once was but now is gone
They ride clear off the edge of night Rising to the sun by lost horizons With music loud. With silence all about
Cliffs are less forgiving in the clouds Off they go into the fall of men Leaving only dust behind as a reminder Of a place they might have found back then
Is that Icarus or Daedalus up ahead In wings and wax still melting in the sun? Is there a flight path to heaven less conspicuous?
Partnered with the light is ever darkness Where wild are the boys of dune inside Riding chariots of steel inside the mind Where sand inside the shoes is an illusion Drifting higher to the mounds of silence Into horizons once described, are done
