fly high, fly far Icarus

fly high, fly far Icarus

fiction

Fly high, fly far Icarus
be not afraid like myself.
When we walked the airport fence,
I kept us from being arrested by the gendarmes.
Now fly above and beyond all your fences
that we surrounded you with then
to keep you safe for now.
If you touch the Sun and crash down,
may the Lord shelter you from harm,
and return you to those who love you.
