Poetry Drawer: Dignity: Perfection: Fly by Seungmin Kim

Dignity

To bestow beauty and lambency
For he will continually lust 
And be doomed to regress
Living dignity may dawn anew

Perfection

To bestow grace and purity
For he will continually lust 
And be doomed to regress
Living perfection may dawn anew

Fly

The feathers, they fell with starlight
Baptizing them one with grace and disorder
With the lambency of your final flight
You leave behind love in your wake

Fear not the earth and sea beneath you
For you shall fear only fear itself
And though your wings may be clipped
Even Icarus flew in his last moments

Be christened in the chime of your
Final hour, the shine of your 
Blood sweat and tears may christen you
Human, even as the vestiges of life leave

A celebration of life is not true 
Without the clouds of finality on the horizon
Remember your fortune, as you wander the skies
For one can only live for having died
