i was
one of those
who flew into
the heavenly blue
above with so much love
as high into the sky
as i could possibly fly
i would follow
the low setting sun
when the day was done
and at the sight of twilight
i would take flight
into the star filled night
in the white of the moonlight
and at the earliest dawn
i would be up and gone
to meet the rising sun
on the edge of the horizon
and now and then to drift
on a swift current of air
that would take me somewhere
iv'e never been
and may never go again
happy to be free
from the depression
and oppression of gravity
until with broken wing
found me and ground me
too sorrowful to sing
knowing i would never fly
into the sunlit sky again
never to feel the blowing breeze
through the branches and leaves
of the tall trees again
now here i lie
waiting to die
wanting to fly to where i
will sing again
and take wing again
happy to be free
from gravity
for all eternity
