For a friend I rise, on my strong wings On breezes of summer night Gales of early morning Soft breathes of late afternoons Gliding on this wide kite Rustling of feathers My eyes everywhere and nowhere Seeing it all, observing complexity Nothing, nothing can bring me down Make me fall from heights Highs, my Shangri-La Euphoric in my invincibility This cyclone hits startlingly hard Reduces proud wings to fringes But never, ever will bring me down My heart beats its heart every time *** January 24, 2017

Regardless of the winds that push and pull, those with the wings of imagination will never be grounded. Nicely done Darren.
