Icarus

So sweet, the honor
of knowing you,
sleeping angel.

Deeper still,
you pointed the way,
sweeping slight of hand.

Reach, stretched taut,
Assignment On High,
spread by a lullaby.

Lay, lay down with you,
Oh yes, the featherbed
feel of you.

Light is lingering,
past sun’s waxing set,
a song, is it you?

Corinne, this is an excellent poem.  I love the story of Icarus - but this is golden.
