(This was written on October 9, 2008).
Like Icarus rising to challenge the sun
I've vied for your visage and then I was stunned
By beauty and grace over these worldly things
Then fell to the earth -- melted gossamer wings.
Never before have I seen such a sight
To set on this course in my endless flight
Bright solar helios guide to your lair
A platinum playground of light in your hair.
How star-crossed our paths became so entangled
To break through the gravity that keeps us well-wrangled
For one day to dream and appear at your side
I'd harvest the heavens in this stellar ride.
Our lives go on burrowing up through the ground
Inspired by the pulse of each leap and bright bound
Like distant sparks that appear out of reach
But some day we'll wash up ashore on that beach.
Could we all be simply photons in space --
Just random colliding light bodies to trace?
Alive timeless teeming to join up again
I wonder and journey just to be with my friend.
It seems that it's all predestined to be
Like a nest for a squirrel or an acorn to tree
For God has created this nature and sights
So come along with me on our endless flight.
