How do you know that? I whispered back choking on my tears
Because I know you... it's what you do.
I now understand Icarus...
how he could forget the stern warnings of his father and try to touch the greatest star in the heavens.
I can feel heat and warmth,
deep pleasure and shattering pain
I am aware of touch and taste and sound and me
I can feel
and I want to feel it all
the sun against my face
the wind below my body
my heart a pounding warriors drum within my breast
so loud sometimes that it frightens me
and makes me fold my wings for a moment
free fall back into what the world considers a comfortable norm
I remember a promise I made to myself when I left.
To Untame
To Rename
To Reclaim me
I struggle I resist I push back against the glass ceiling
and there is a rain of sparkling glittering diamond shards around me
His accuracy is a bitter sweet taste in my mouth
As I break through
As I fly beyond
As my mind, my spirit, my body join as one
It's a good day to kiss the sun
