To Fly

Drink in the sun Until you feel every one of its rays Blazing at the tips of your fingers And its warmth filling your heart with joy. Drink in the sky Breathe in the vast hope it kindles In its bosom of blue, and feel its freedom As you let it soar through your mind. Drink in the moon Let its shining glory shatter into tears of silver Forever sparkling like twilight stars At the depths of your very last dreams. And drink in the laughter Of growing trees and singing streams And when you close your eyes you will feel The wisp breath of wind on your face. Then you will fly. __ For Amy Green's contest 'Choose One, Have Fun!' Topic: FLYING
