My Flying Dreams
It was many years ago that I used to dream
that with a small run, I could lift myself
up off the ground,
and I could fly!
I loved those dreams in which I soared above my town,
for the sensation of them was unmatched
by anything in mere reality.
With time, I noticed my flying dreams had vanished.
Oh, glorious drifting through sky -
where fled my youth? Where fled those dreams?
Last night I dreamed
I flew again!
