I Dare

I dare dream
Upon a sea of black birds 
Feasting on fresh fish and 
worms

I dare look
Upon an ebony and obsidian sky
A black storm 
Circling the atmosphere 

I dare fancy
Upon piercing 
and heartless 
Eyes  staring into mine
Begging me to run

I dare wonder 
At sharp onyx bills
And able claws and beaks 

I dare frame feathers into portraits
Of doves and snowy hills and mountains

I dare ponder upon
Wings of phenixes and dragons
