Oh To Be

Oh to be as a star! My lissome form shimmering. Set in the firmament By some celestial being. Oh to be as a bird! To let the breeze flow over the pinion Of my mighty wings And men can not besmirch my name. Oh to be as a traveler! Each new home a simple sojourn. To have come from the throes Of my past tents and mansions. Oh but this joyous reverie has come to an end And we must return to our blissful repose. May 21, 2018
