Icarus Syndrome


 
“Creativity takes courage.” - Henri Matisse
 
Do not fear your own destruction.
Go forth fearlessly -
 
For should you  
 
Fall
 
You shall take to oceanic
Deeps
 
A starlight that never sleeps
And always dreams
 
Where you shall rise once more
Upon the wave
 
A master of extremes
Cutting
 
&
 
Slashing brash
Bold
 
From dream to dream
In flashes  
 
Of supernal windows
Flashing cold
 
In the slow motion echoes
Of fragments
 
Of the fall
 
Reflecting the violence
Which your silence
 
Purified – Distilled
 
To be installed in the stars
Shimmering
 
Still.
