oh, fair winds,
bring me to my destination
across the vast pond.
******* forward
fill my wings with your sweet kiss
and let me fly
your embrace is my haven,
my sanctuary from the day's worries

I need you at my back,
to steer the ship of my life
in a safe direction,
blowing away the foul weather.
strong,
but gentle,
like a newborn's mother,
you do not break my masts
nor tear my sails.

if only I could fly
I would unfurl my wings,
exposing myself to your sweet breath,
and ascend among the clouds

I would soar among the birds,
watching, from outsretched wings
my flight-carriers uplifting me,
with your aid

imagine seeing the world
the fakeness of the cities,
metal & concrete
the uniformity of the suburbs,
monotonous and unchanging
great forests and deserts,
wild and untamed
nothing could hide from me
with my ever-watchful eye
and my palace in the clouds

new environment
you need to evolve,
adapt to survive.
just know yourself
understand yourself
hold on to yourself
because you are your best
when you accept yourself.
and most importantly:
love yourself.
don't change yourself
don't hide yourself
no one can love a costume,
a mask,
a fake,
a mannequin.
be yourself
because people will admire that.
it takes courage
it's not easy,
but it's best
and it's right.
so do yourself a favor...
find yourself
