Swooping down from castle of the Glow Cloud, 
Icarus glides over maze of city streets, 
eyes peering into minds of human souls 
to analyze riddles of obtuse dreams 
which flash kaleidoscope concepts in code 
concealing secret passions of the heart. 

Striding gracefully in slender black suit 
that hides his white-swan wings of psychic flight, 
Icarus beams vibes of forgiving grace 
to calm distraught minds twisted by despair 
with breath of love on agitated waves 
of faith converting ugliness to beauty. 

Startled by tornado of frightened rage 
that swirls from abyss of hungry desire, 
Icarus soars through labyrinth of souls 
to find young woman under alder tree 
who chants arcane oracle in star spell 
weaving bridge of truth from branches of fear. 

Feeling pulse of ocean tides radiate thick 
in waves of starlight from her silver eyes, 
Icarus gestures hands to adjust beams 
so energy swirls tight in coiling wheel 
that winds eternity in clock of sight, 
body shocked rigid when she grasps his hand. 

Gazing entranced by shimmer of her eyes, 
Icarus sees young woman open book 
that flashes rainbow letters in her hands 
about transforming humans into angels 
that she retrieves from high library shelf 
hidden deep in castle of seven towers. 

Kneeling before Goddess of Liberty, 
Icarus offers with both open hands 
Holy Grail of True Love to sweet Isolta 
who drinks peppermint-flavored mushroom mead 
that beams her soul with divine energy 
so she spreads wings of wisdom from her heart. 

Holding hands with Isolta, the White Queen, 
Icarus asks if she will marry him 
so they can both avoid their tragic fates 
by choosing to alter way of their faith 
so they together generate new life 
in child destined to play the cosmic herald. 

Walking signless road in the tangled wood, 
Icarus and Isolta journey west 
to escape drama of their families, 
and build new home in hills of Oregon 
where they tend orchard of red apple trees, 
and raise five children who play games with joy.
