WINGS


WINGS

Oh that I 
Had wings...
How far and
Wide
I'd fly...

The world below
Me
The sky above
The four winds
Blowing
Through my
Feathered garb!

I'd see all peoples 
And lands...
I'd hear talking
In languages
Unheard of by me
Before
And varied traditions 
And cultures
I'd learn...

Oh, I'd not ever
Be bored
Or wonder
About life
Beyond these
Walls I am bound 
To call home!

My abode would 
Be
The tallest trees
Upon who's branches
I'd perch
Carefree and singing...

A little bird
Or maybe an eagle
I'd be
If only I had 
Wings 
In freedom, the world
To see...!
