Icarus

    Letting Go

    2004

    A meeting
    Not of hands but of minds
    Not of ground but of finds

    A sharing
    Not of words but of rhyme
    Not of space but of time

    A crossing
    Not of lands but of arts
    Not of skies but of hearts

    A soaring
    Not of birds but of souls
    Not of parts but of wholes

    A clashing
    Not of swords but of scars
    Not of wills but of stars

    A shedding
    Not of ties but of tears
    Not of hopes but of fears

    A haunting
    Not of ghosts but of threats
    Not of truth but of regrets

    A changing
    Not of stories but of seasons
    Not of desires but of reasons

    A parting
    Not of ways but of means
    Not of seas but of scenes

    A meeting
    Not of beginnings but of ends
    Not of strangers but of friends
