Daedalus Rising

There, over there

Has gone, goes and will go

The copper sun

Tarnishes with the year's tears

The golden golden copper sun

Old eldest dead

Over the blue milky seasky

Loss and lost and losing

Do not wept

All this is passing

All the birds wing and fall

Through the heavens

The cloudy clouds

Of snow of dew and of smoke

A shuddering reflection

Vanishing with the dropped stone

Oh, I wait under the spaces

Under the molten terrain

The flashing falling planets

Do not wept

All this is passing

So high I could come

So far I shall fall

Daedalus broken

Daedalus falling

By the toothstones

His shapes bends

And makes s smiling bow

He careers and spiral down

Falls

He waves words of farewell

"Oh, do not weep

All of this passing

To fail is human

To fall is human

To hope is human

Do not weep

As the sound disappears

As the rain falls

As the sky parts

As my tears fall

Do not weep

I shall wait for you"

Daedalus broken

Daedalus falling

Do not wept

All this is passing...
