Take Flight
Speckled bird in the grass, nothing to lack
I’m looking at him and he’s looking back
The exchange is sweet simplicity
There is no fear, no duplicity
Oh to be under those wings & go with him I suppose
Take flight and lift me from my solitary repose
With a wink of the eye, soar into azure treasure
And with a sigh, journey into heaven’s pleasure
If the bird’s wings I could only reach
Life’s mysteries he would seemingly teach
For now I must remain earthbound
My feet chained by promises profound
The tiny bird slips away
Leaving my thoughts astray
Forever and a day and never may
I wait patiently for my restless heart to say
