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
