To Daedalus MAG
I am young,
I am impulsive;
I aim for the sky.
Dear father,
You who fashioned my wings,
Let me fly.
Oblivious to your warnings
I may yet
Attempt to touch the sun
And fall
Burning
To the ground.
I, sprung
From your loins,
May yet dissolve
Into the foaming sea
And dash your hopes
Upon Icarian shores.
But know that
I must take flight now
or remain
forever
in the prison
of your love.
Father,
Let me fly.
