Wings of Icarus


"Wings of Icarus"


every angel for himself

the sky never falls
when love carries its 
shining sword on clouds 
walking on a blue Ichthys ocean 

words each feather
waxing lyrical wings
enfolding the fallen labyrinth
opening golden grail stories

wings of Icarus 
Michael held aloft
under morning star’s 
rapturous warming

the sky never falls
when love carries its
shining sword on clouds
in a blue Ichthys ocean 

every angel for himself
found in the rise of falling

(LadyLabyrinth / 2022)

“The sky is falling
Human race that we run
Has left me crawling
Staring straight at the sun
Oh, in a moment I notice
Every dog has his day “

The Sky Is Fallin'/Queens of the Stone Age. Primary Video embedded in the poem's text, is not the original I posted. Creator has removed from Youtube, so unable to embed it as primary video. The video was beautifully shot with superimposed features. Goldfish/or Carp superimposed on moving clouds with video being shot from window of a car as it rushes along the road past tress, with the goldfish/carp in the sky. It was quite beautifully shot/created. Surreal mixed with real footage, not cartoon. Current embedded is slow and reverbbed. Original song below.

Not a poem about Putin, or Ukraine's President Zelenskky - I wrote it with a few other subjects in mind outside of the current Ukraine/Russia war...but I could put this in here in response to your kind comment. Let us hope Zelenskyy's prayers are answered. He is a good man and a very strong leader, the best leader for his people. https://youtu.be/fXAK-bEFjds

obviously "in his cups" at the time of articulating the quote. Although the first three words ring accurate.

"[Saint Anthony] said, in his solitude, he sometimes encountered devils who looked like angels, and other times he found angels who looked like devils. When asked how he could tell the difference, the saint said that you can only tell which is which by the way you feel after the creature has left your company."
