What I see

A bird is flying over a river body.


What I feel

The bird seems to be surprised by seeing something.



Story

Ah! How lucky you are, bird! You can fly wherever you want, however high you wish! You are free from the burdens. You are not chained like me. You are not destined to be doomed like me! Why are you surprised? You have not seen anyone like me flying before, or rather falling to the absolute end? I envy you, bird, I envy you. I flew, even higher than you, but was not free, I wish I were free like you!

This was the thing Icarus was thinking, when he was falling from the sky not listening to his father's advise of not going too high and destroying the wings.
