Seeking Light

golden warmth flows
	glittering crystals receive
shimmering waves dance
	rising into the sky

gliding twists and turns
	effortlessly to go
air does ruffle through
	longing to be free

fluff on gentle breeze
	from the sky descends
moves upon the airs
	to where ere it may be

flowing onward downward
	flight unbound be
swooping lightly turning
	ere it may flow

flowing freely onward
yet by walls constrained
seeking ever freedom
	where unto be

flow onto the freedom
	endless choices before
free from all constrictions
	still continues on

sharpness does the air fill
	with ionic tang
calling ever onward
	to a place to find

fills the breeze with crying
	to the heart does call
longing ever aching
	for that unknown

tar and oak a creaking
	on the rising swells
currents pulling outward
	straining to be free

thunder calls me onward
	fabric fills the air
chains rattle loudly
	bindings do break free

far away does call me
	to the place I seek
to find a new tomorrow
	and the place I’ll be
