Icarus

    Comet Sonnet

    2005

    Ever since meeting, we’ve taken to flight
    Reached for the stars and touched the moon
    We’ve stood together through changing light
    From dusk to dawn, from midnight to noon
    Time and again, we’ve crashed to the ground
    Caught in a storm, too close to the sun
    Our wings have broken, our feet been bound
    Our entangled dreams have come undone
    Certainty in life’s like a blazing comet
    Its passage as spectacular as rare
    And incredible changes can come from it
    If we have the heart to hope and dare
    For at last I’m certain and I know it’s true:
    We were meant to be – and I love you
