He soared on wings of wax and dreams,
With skies alight and sunbeams’ gleams,
A father’s warning whispered low,
But passion’s fire began to grow.

Into the heavens, high he flew,
Above the clouds, the earth he knew,
Ambition’s siren called his name,
In golden light, he staked his claim.

Yet sun’s embrace was not so kind,
Its fervent kiss his fate aligned,
Wings melted, dreams began to fall,
In tragic arc, he heeded the call.

From zenith’s grace to ocean’s grave,
A lesson taught on how to brave,
For those who dare to touch the sky,
Beware the sun, and where dreams lie.
