I wish to fly.
To escape from the chains of gravity and soar into
a moonlit abyss.
I wish to kiss twinkling stars and admire
galaxies from clouds.
To feel wind rustle beneath my toes as I
shatter fantasies with levitation,
To know freedom’s true name,
To greet winged creatures as brothers and sisters,
To hug the heavens with great leaps.
Be I a monster in the eyes
of the flightless,
in air I become a beauty,
But all dreams end.
When the dawn jump’s from the arms of darkness and
steals away the moon,
I must return to confinement.
Become ugly again.
I stare at the mocking sun from my balcony.
waiting for the wind to embrace my wishes
and carry me through the night once again.
The wait is eternity.
