Premium Member A Fly Taught Me to Fly
It came like a whisper on wings too dirty for angels, a fly with no gospel— just bloodlust and fire. I don’t remember the bite— only the stories they told me— the brain-boil, the silence of a body already leaving, the baby too lethargic to be called alive, and the ice-water baths. Above the crib, they hovered— not angels, not flies, but entities without names, bodiless heads...

Keep your dreams alive today and forever. This is your time now. Put in the hard work. When the lights are out, work harder. Underground at...

Premium Member Don't Know Why I Couldn't Fly
Don't know why I couldn't fly When I had the wings and all, Don't know why I didn't try Was I much too afraid to fall Teetering on the bridge that day Arms outstretched, toes to the edge, Then again, who would jump anyway From such a treacherous ledge Looking down from an incredible height My last breath caught in...

Tell Me What This Means And My Hope For Humanity Will Find Peace
Yesterday I forgot how to fly. I went to take off and the sky wouldn't take me. Clouds too puffed up to let someone like me into their streets. They must have taken them - my wings. They think I don't belong there. I know because that's where the rest of humanity is - on the ground. Now that I think about...

When Words Fly Back
With care, I craft the words on the page, but I see that they loathe being in this cage. Too often, they break out of formation and run everywhere — such disorganization! I wonder if I should set the words free, considering they’ve already done so much for me. The next day, carrying a heavy heart, I tell...

Let my wings soar where the Heaven’s guide Show me exploration into new horizons New Frontier of a new beginning Let the clouds cleanse within the mist Destiny mounts Born to fly Into the friendly skies Understanding wholly and wise Through the storms I shall encounter There is wonder as I am soaring yonder Among the high mountains The valley’s below The Earth’s landscapes flow Harmony among Beauty seen Yonder...

Confined within rusty iron bars, grounded eternally to hop and trip, wishing to fly into Heaven’s starry bower, a bird b e a t s her wings in vain, voicing her anguish in tremulous trills. There is hunger ...

Premium Member To Fly
It would be a pure adrenaline freedom thrill to fly. Flight motion is a dreamy adventure I would savor. How excited I would be to Peter Pan the sky. I feel certain the atmosphere would gladly comply. Granting me ascent would be a most splendid favor. It would be a pure adrenaline freedom thrill to fly. Passing birds would wonder...
