I Can Can See For Miles

I hoped that bird could have stayed, It’s cloaked behind decisions I’ve made. A few feathers and sand, the price is paid, As they slip away the memory fades… One of the feathers I use to write. It grants me vision where there was no sight. A beacon to guide me out of the night, I shall squeeze by, though it’s rather tight… The words it reveals become part of me, These sunken eyes still can see. With a wing and a prayer I shall be, The words in turn shall set me free… One day I wish and hope to fly, Sometimes the moment just passes by. I know that I must, so I will try, This is when I soar through the sky… Meanwhile time passes through my fingers. Everything’s gone only a little taste lingers. Still with my friends I can’t help but smile. From way up here, I can see for miles…
