Lassos of fire
pull out my roots
Running higher,
I’ll pull on my boots
And leave no tracks
In my trekking plight
There’s no coming back
No return flight
Indomitable Icarus,
I fly into the sun
Inconsolable Narcissus,
My iron wings don’t run
But my skin scorches
From rays up above
Then your harpoon searches
To pierce my flesh with love
And haul me down
And tie me here
To watch that crown,
That summit of fear
Gladly I’d remain
I’d surrender to you
But I must end the rein
And make the sun new
Stay, let me run
Forgive my absence
And forgive the sun
For its distance
For I will coax it
Maybe in some years
I’ll teach it closeness
So it will shine here
