white winged water walker
filled my dreamy head
sliding, gliding on shimmering glass
far from my land locked bed
once a child and filled with awe
my visions shamelessly bold
a water walker I would be
and straw could turn to gold
but spinning orbs wash one with age
and weight one's wings with years
and flights of endless prowess
are grounded by groundless fears
yet when blind night blocks the light
and one's mind is allowed to explore
childhood's chirping vision
is again allowed to soar

white winged water walker
filled my dreamy head
sliding, gliding on shimmering glass
far from my land locked bed
once a child and filled with awe
my visions shamelessly bold
a water walker I would be
and straw could turn to gold
but spinning orbs wash one with age
and weight one's wings with years
and flights of endless prowess
are grounded by groundless fears
yet when blind night blocks the light
and one's mind is allowed to explore
childhood's chirping vision
is again allowed to soar
