Flying Instead
Walking and thinking and clearing my head
Facing my demons or lying instead
Even the flowers that smile as I pass
Seem to be deep in debate with the grass
Something about every cloud in the sky
Blue as the ocean, now catches my eye
Somewhat distracting to silence my thought
Can’t break this beast so forever distraught
Yet, as the sun makes its morning debut
Helping me see that my problems are few
I realize what good fortune can be
I am alive and the world is for me
Love still exists if I open my mind
I can then solve every puzzle I find
Funny how demons know only the dark
Never to whistle the song of a lark
Now as I stroll with a head filled of light
Nature applauding my goal now in sight
Walking yet gliding, my wings fully spread
No need for lying, I’m flying instead
