Wish To Fly

Looking at birds in the sky,
like them too, I wished to fly
and so it was, that one day,
blessings divine paved my way.

At home, whilst I was alone,
throbbed my pineal gland cone
and standing at heaven’s gate,
I began to levitate!

Bliss magnetism suffused form
and blown away in this storm,
my formless self, one with space,
was left with no goals to chase.

On return to body-mind,
flight of fancy, mind declined,
since I had brought back no proof,
truth crumbled under reproof.

For wings to fly I'd give chase, but I fear a flight of fancy is the only kind I'll ever embrace. I didn't intend that to rhyme, but... you know how that goes. Thoughtful lines, Seeker.
