A free fall is a free flight. When we let go of our fear of falling and find the sun inside of us, life gives us wings. A poem I wrote back in the days, accompanied by a study for a painting made by my beloved mother, Marlies van Dijk.
If I could live a lighttime
I would fly away to the sun
And follow it forever
Until my wings would burn
Icares, Icares
A fall from the sky
The sky has no limit
Don’t be afraid to fly
And when I close my eyes
I will wake up in a dream
Flowers in my bedroom
And love kissing my cheeks
Icares, Icares Do we fall or do we fly? Throw caution to the wind Don’t be afraid to try Take me by the hand Through the land of neverend In boundless space we’ll find All that humanity left behind Icares, Icares Shine like a star in a nighttime sky Life is too short for limitations Don’t be afraid to die
