DESPAIR


A wordless euphoria lifts me up on wings
Brilliant and dazzling, a blinding light
In a  nimbus of radiance I soar
Surrounded by overwhelming joy

For countless hours I soar, all else forgotten
I see nothing, I only bask in the glory,
In the splendour of my flight
All else is neglected;  ignored

As the day wanes and night's breeze becons
The fires of flight begin to cool
But I can not see or feel it as it happens
But here within my core, I know

My shining wings molt and the lights all fade
Thrusting me into a world of gravity and shade
Like Icherus I plummet, my support is gone
And despairingly I wonder what could have gone wrong

Below me the dark abyss opens for me
I fall more readily, weeping, for the wings set me free
Into the depths I go, awaiting wings that are gone
And despairingly I wonder what could have gone wrong

Well that was . . . Interesting.  Here's a picture from the funniest web-comic ever.  Humor to promote religious diversity.  It's all pagan humor, but the picture is funny.
