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

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