Avian Dreams
Like a balloon, I am tethered
Cares, like strings,
tie me down
‘Til the light of dreams
comes to me
and severs my binding,
releasing me from my earthly burden
Not only do I fly from consciousness,
but from the earth itself,
which, like a pebble,
becomes small,
insignificant.
Warm winds carry me
I let them take me wherever they wish
and follow gladly,
leaving behind my vexations
that held me, like an anchor,
to the ground
To the wind gods, I pray
to lift me up,
and make me forget that
Solicitude ever whispered its words in my ear
Soaring above the clouds,
I feel as if I can do anything
Boundless possibility--
like the endless horizon before me--
no ceiling, just sky
Limitless, free
