Smudged sky (too many children and too many fingerprints) And a dark and light presence Black as night Lighter than air Circling Drifting Spiraling Swaying I want to be you! Lift my hopes with your wings Carry my heart as you soar I want to be you. Circling Drifting Spiraling Swaying Black lightning on a lugubrious template Please, Oh, please! Let me be you! Limits expounded only by winds Walls are- quite simply, Meaningless And I am all-powerful. These racked limbs will cause no woe When I am sailing peacefully above These sunken forearms Replaced with strong wings These twisted ankles Spreading into scaled talons This otiose body Looking on with vacant eyes As I crest over mountains And swoop into valleys, These gleaming white squares never suited me This curved beak will serve me better And this silly yellow skin Never offered me protection From wind, nor rain But these sleek dark feathers Make me fast as a jet. Once I was sad and grey and hollow, But I will be strong and fearless and whole.

Wings (4/22/14)
Smudged sky (too many children and too many fingerprints) And a dark and light presence Black as night Lighter than air Circling Drifting Spiraling Swaying I want to be you! Lift my hopes with your wings Carry my heart as you soar I want to be you. Circling Drifting Spiraling Swaying Black lightning on a lugubrious template Please, Oh, please! Let me be you! Limits expounded only by winds Walls are- quite simply, Meaningless And I am all-powerful. These racked limbs will cause no woe When I am sailing peacefully above These sunken forearms Replaced with strong wings These twisted ankles Spreading into scaled talons This otiose body Looking on with vacant eyes As I crest over mountains And swoop into valleys, These gleaming white squares never suited me This curved beak will serve me better And this silly yellow skin Never offered me protection From wind, nor rain But these sleek dark feathers Make me fast as a jet. Once I was sad and grey and hollow, But I will be strong and fearless and whole.
