Take Flight and Imagine
When I was young and excited to see the world
I loved to climb trees all different sizes
I would look out far away and wish I could fly
I would imagine that I had long wide wings
I would spread my arms out steady as I could
On top of a tree that was wide enough for my footing
Steady as the wind blows, pushing me up to stand
As my arms reaches to a T, I could feel the wind
Wind passing through my arms and I felt free
I would wonder what the birds would feel
Once they were pulled up into the sky by the wind
Pushing upward to make them feel light as light
Make them soar through the air without fear
An excitement that never ends and could see far
Far from the eyes and beyond the horizon
What could the birds feel, when soaring through the air?
Finding freedom without endless reaches
Never having to stay in one spot of earth, not earth bound
Seeking the thrill of the moment and not knowing it
Diving and embracing nature as is in the air
Not wavering in any storm, sometimes just to ride it out
Feeling short of breath when the last wind blows
Fluttering as hard to land on a safe place not so chaotic
The wind seems more peaceful and full of life
Rather than the awkward world beneath the wings
Imagine the world with wings and less chaos
Free as the wind blows through the grass and meadows
What is and shall be the life of being a bird
Through and through, humans feel flight is freedom
It takes you anywhere, shorter than driving at times
If we all had wings, we would be reaching the light
What kind of bird or Angel would I become if I had wings
