Fly

Standard

I would lift you up

As high as i could

My love

But we both know 

You will only fall,

Return to it all,

Everything

You are running away from

Here on the ground

If you do not build up strength in your own way,

In your own time.

The might of

Your own wings must come about within

Your soul.

To get there

You have to fly yourself,

But

Not by yourself.

I am learning too.

We all are.

Many Moons And Suns

Standard

Many moons

And suns have come and gone

Since you embarked on this journey.

Your feet light with

Anticipation
When you took your first steps

Now have become heavy

With

Impatience and doubt.

Remember your heart.

Remember your heart beating.

Remember the blood coursing through your veins.

Such life. Such beauty.

The moon and sun are still there with you and

They will not give up.

You will not give up.

Remember your heart.

Remember your heart beating,

And open your eyes.

Open them fully.

Breathe many breaths.

Open your eyes.

See.

Truly you know, if you wish,

You can fly.

Flying Away

Standard

Waiting for a connection.
Watching people go by,
A few looking  quite frantic.
Ready to board their plane
And fly away.
Most staring straight ahead
One destination on their mind.
Always flying away.
They are all so distracted,
Staring at their phones
And tripping
Over nothing.
Dreaming of flying away.
And I wonder what
Tales the
Luggage carousel
Might tell.

Wish

Standard

I wish I had walked taller,

Spoke louder,

Held my head higher.

Wish I could have looked you in the eye

Instead of looked away.

I wish I could draw a picture and fill the whole page

Without cringing.

Wish I could spread my wings and fly.

Wish I could pick up the pieces of me,

But they keep slipping through my hands.

Wish I could put them together right

The ones that I can find.

Butterfly

Standard

Oh butterfly.

You are lost and I am afraid

You cannot remember your way to the warmth of the sun.

How you arrived here is anyone’s guess.

Only you truly know the path you have journeyed.

I’ve tried to save you

But you’re up so high

Here inside

Where you are not meant to be.

Flitting and thrashing against the cold

Windowpane

For you know not the way to where you need to be.

When you settle

I will reach you.

I’ll put you back where you belong

In the open sky.

Please don’t look back.

This you must promise me

…………

You will fly.

Fly,

Fly.

Fly away free.
