In Flight

I’m confined Weighted By this body of clay I cannot soar On the wings of my dreams Or from lofty heights Swoop down To dip my hands in ocean streams And then claim again My place in the sky Confined Weighted By the cares of this world By my tears By a world bound in fears Confined But then a song Floats on the breeze And fills my waiting ears With the melody of hope Serenity Beauty Liltingly sweet The musical score, my wings The notes, my sturdy features The voice, the wind that will carry me My soul, the spirit of flight The music carries me away I take over the skies Winging my way to places That entice and beguile The hidden corners of my wind Unexplored…undefined Virgin territory Where beauty resides Unmolested and pristine Soaring and gliding As the music plays on I live my fantasy I unfurl my dreams The wind flowing above and beneath Carrying me... Beating my wings I go faster, higher Then…I spread them wide Oh, to glide…to glide On the wind’s caress To look down and know My spirit is free No longer confined The last note fades away As my feet touch the ground Back to life as it was As it is As it will be With one little difference I have gained the sweet knowledge That I'm not confined Every song Is a promise Of beautiful dreams in flight An invitation To spread my wings and F L Y! Eileen Manassian Ghali Music MOVES me!
