You Can

When the sun burns bright
After a long cold night
Scorching your skin to cinders
With its bright light
When the world gives you wounds
And watches it fester with delight
Mend your broken wings and fly
Because I know you can

OK! I will concentrate on this one for the time being.. I like this poem. The way you have put it simply and succinctly- because u can... After the controls interview, I am grabbing 2 beers and coming over to discuss poems with you. Thou art forewarned, Sir! Enjoying the company of Dead Mathematicians... Did you see Dead Poets' Society? Or read' Abou Ben Adhem'( It is a poem about you:-) ? Regards, Girish
