Long ago, I tasted something sweet It's an echo, it's a memory in retreat Like a feeling of fullness Like the knowing of quiet fortitude Of ancient heroes It was something I trusted somehow And now And now I am, I am, I am, I am I am the rise of Icarus I am the fall from Pegasus I am the lost Leander in the tide I am cold, alone, and set apart And I am warm as Hero's heart I am a circle I am Saturn purified Once around the sun and now at last I see it! This is what I am Long ago, I left myself And now I try to return As a stranger to a strange land And to the burn But the hollow inside me Might be there to guide me home again Back to something sweet An opening A passage way to guide me home
