To Be With You

The world warm and soft,
I’m here with brothers three.
Mother is watching from aloft
Playing our games, suddenly I’m free!

I’m learning to fly for sure,
I hear mother screeching with love.
I have entered the great azure,
Why is mother so far above?

The world cold and hard,
Not nearly how I’d thought
Suddenly I feel a shard-
My blood runs thick and hot.

I’ve learned not how to fly,
But rather how to die.
