I could fly if I
tried ○ To where fey delight
lies ○ And in the moonlight
rest before ascending higher yet

♥

Fair or foul, none would elsewhere
stare ○ Because see, I am up there
bare ○ Dizzying dives of despair
shared ○ While breathtaking climbs, with flair,
part cloudy veils

♥

Oh, how my wings would, like the sun's echo,
glow ○ Sparkling eyes would the course of tomorrow
know ○ And with nary a care, choose to forego
woe ○ I'd swoop and swirl and soar, to through shadow,
flow ○ And still dancing unmoored, dare to follow
dreams yet undreamt.

♥

I could fly if only I tried
All the way to where happiness lies
But why bother
When all that rises must falter
