Wings beating at the air, Pushing bodies from the ground, Intrigued me as a child. Birds Bats Angels Dragons Other winged creatures Beckoned me to join them Through pages and fairy tales I held dear. I wanted to be like them; To have wings and fly To places only imagined. But life is cruel, And I got my reality check Sooner than I was ready to let go. I know now That Humans will never fly With wings of bone And skin And feathers. I am forever bound to the Earth, This place. And yet… I still dream.

The Power of Flight
Wings beating at the air, Pushing bodies from the ground, Intrigued me as a child. Birds Bats Angels Dragons Other winged creatures Beckoned me to join them Through pages and fairy tales I held dear. I wanted to be like them; To have wings and fly To places only imagined. But life is cruel, And I got my reality check Sooner than I was ready to let go. I know now That Humans will never fly With wings of bone And skin And feathers. I am forever bound to the Earth, This place. And yet… I still dream.
I wrote this about four years ago back when I was in high school. I don't think I'll rewrite it, but feel free to point out any flaws if you'd like.
