the sky's the limit
or at least that's what they say
but beyond those clouds lay orbit
and more beyond that lies the planets
the sun, shining, a prevalent sign
in our every day life,
and if the sky's the limit,
then how can we reach what we
can already goddamn well see?
it's there, burning and bright,
blinding if one risks their sight,
and yet we cannot touch,
feel its immediate presence
fly higher and maybe you
might
just might
but icarus tried, and he failed
a tragedy of his own miserable yearning
fly high, fly low, but do not fly out
