I sit in silence left to ponder

My mind adrift, my thoughts do wander

Contemplation and serious thought

Surrounding the subject of life's true plot

The meaning and purpose, the hows and whys

Some live peacefully while others die

As I sit and ponder such things

I'm reminded of the fact that life has wings

Time flies the older we get

The choice we make is to thrive or regret

Death is certain, an inevitable end

But Life is more chance, we all hope to win

I personally choose to live without care

So that at the end of my days the world will know 

That the black winged Icarus was there
