Outdoors

Frozen teardrops, flakes
Falling and rising, again falling
Ever so softly
All around me
To the rhythm of the wind
Like a billions molecules
Hither and thither
Under the glow of the light
Shining like emeralds
Engulfing me, enshrouding me
And my soul flies with their fall
And dances with their rise
Ever so softly
At that moment, when no one was watching
The frozen, dancing emeralds
Danced and flew just for me
Just for me

Icarus

Stilled in his clamouring
Dropped during his flight
Like the meteors that plunge
Icarus, now a museum piece
Dismissed by the public
He started off like all dreamers do
There was a time when Icarus flew
Entire world beneath his might
Closer and closer to the Sun
To his culmination before the wax melted
At the height of his zenith
There, my friend, his dream was silenced
Ultimate dream of kissing the Sun
With the turn he never foresaw
Icarus was a fool, the world declares
I disagree, Icarus was a dreamer
Just like you and me who dare to dream
Ambitious dreamer, limitless dreamer
And just a dreamer who dreamt too far
Yet a dreamer who died for his dream
Believe me,
Its the kind of death I am happy to die for
