Finger at the blue in the sky Say I want be like that guy You say you want me to fly Like the falcon in the sky Floating, soaring and climbing Touching white clouds of heaven But fog chokes the clean lining Mists like comics with no timing Yet I can’t understand why My wings have to still be tied Down steel chained to the ground Can’t move on to new chapters When the pages are bound Cuts are bandaged by laughter It’s that why I rest at the nest? And you stopped the beat in my chest? I want that heart of a lion Instead there’s chicken in my breast Yes, when I was hatched I was immobile Pure and noble yeah no sight no vocals Kept me alive never en danger But now fam-iliar is the stranger See brown leaves fall and drift from trees Bark ripped open soil has frozen Branches broken missing me By a couple of feet I’m beat My feet are perched, ready to drop Will I hit the ground or see the top? ***** for you I found the key to the lock Ya see when I want open doors I don’t knock Eyes closed and dived, felt like I died Til the wind caught me for a ride Touches my tongue breeze fills my lungs Arms now glide, I become alive Rising, plateauing, descending Wings can't brake, till my brash bones break Tears fall beside me befriending Me, close to my face, my ending Ladybug bums buzz hovering Below my beak, two hit my cheek Flashback when there was smothering Ate treats of sweets and flesh at my peak Now how can I flap forever? Mood severed, Rain struck the weather Rain drops plop on me like puddles That and oil in my feathers I look back and hear organs playing Baby chicks clinging, Gospel singing Knees dove deep in bark they were staying Rain dropped she thought God heard her praying Let her have his shy reply that’s brief Let her have peace and hours of sleep There’s no need for her sighs of relief Have brain release, there’s no deceased Looking forward I need to land Eyes skipping off until I’m crossed
