to fly

                        I wish to fly ~~
          with beautiful wings to glide and float in the sky
over rivers flowing to the ocean
deep into the tangled forest where birds sing
                                 I wish to fly ~~
over ocean waves where the tides meet the shore
at sunrises and sunsets when the sky is hued
      and to catch fish in creeks
            then, I will rest in a weeping willow tucking my head
                                              I wish to fly ~~
into the morn' after preening my lovely feathers 
      oh, my dream is ending
                           soon, I will be a girl again . . .
