Let him dream of birds
And clouds that look like daydreams
Let him float away
Calm and happy and free

Let the weight of ice melt within him
And wings come in to hold him
The glaciers turn to oceans
As relentless sun pours through

Clouds or smoke escape closed lips
Shadows of fences, no, barbed wire
Not an invitation but a warning this young heart slips
Ablaze and seared, it’s made of fire
Fire, burning hot and burning fast
It burns cold, feels too slow
It’s changing, it hurts
Put it out, please put it out, oh no.

Words mean everything.
Words mean nothing.

Everything means something.
Nothing means anything.

Decide.

She dances across the room
Her soul no less than floating
Balancé, balancé, run run, fly

Air is her love, her home, her castle
She left her chains to the ground when
God gave her wings and she complied

Birds be ******
She's lighter than clouds
And needs no sky

Everyone wants to run from the wolves
The dark creatures that howl and snarl
No one will ever tell you how they’ll care
How they’ll love you when they catch up
To your running feet and your pained lungs
They’ll still be around when the sunshine leaves
If only you’d let them find you
