You made up these rules. You set the bar for
longing too high. You wanted to be exalted
as a star, as a god. But I know love refused to
play your game. It fell into your arms and fit
its weight into the yearning in your heart. Didn’t
it teach you to fly with your feet on the ground?

Oh yes, you’re right, it did!

I believe that if one listens to the mind, it will show one how to fly while standing perfectly still. Wonderful write.

You imbued this piece with a conversational aspect to it that words so well. Flying with your feet on the ground – does give pause … as an impactful oxymoron (such as this) will do.

I do not know the myth you are referring to, but it seems to me a bit like Icarus… the fall from hubris is long.

Not a specific myth, Bjorn… just the feeling of love, I suppose!

Spreading our wings, and kissing the sky while still grounded is the true magic.
