ITS FINE TO CRY AND GRIEVE
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
my tale of fairies please believe.
many a day i meditate,
sat crossed legged or often prostrate,
and fairies come, my woes relieve.
casting fun spells they preconceive.
they know how to restore my mind,
back to where it should be, they're kind.
told me its fine, to cry, and grieve.

Went back to 1480,
to see Leonardo of the Vince,
Went to understand, the blunder,
tilting of the windmills, maybe pinch,
Don Quixote, did resist,
So I went off in a hurry,
He was getting on me quince,
Sancho Painza, Poncin, Panchet,
Wanted curry on his mince,
This time?
Leo he was busy,
Mona’s funny little smile,
Till I tripped upon her gizzard,
So he put away the lizard,
Got as cold as the blizzard,
An I heard the word, bathardi
Red neck nuns, were not his style
Lee now cutting up cadavers,
it was my time to leave,
seemed furious, hot as Java,
so I sprang on me Time/Horse,
flashed back to Preconceive.

If I could fly, where in the world would I possibly go?
Up and away my wings would carry me,
My destination not known!
If I could fly, I’d capture all of the Sun’s rays.
Up and away!
What a sight to see with such a grand milestone!
If I could fly,
I would always look below.
Down and deep!
My eyes focused only on you.
My journey’s still unknown.
If I could fly, I’d stay on top with memories buried to keep.
Down and deep!
What an experience just to fly through!
Such a waste without you!
If I could fly, I would soar with my best perfection.
Soaring with pride!
My life achieved.
My destination excluding restrictions!
If I could fly, I’d forever remember this glide.
Soaring with pride!
What a thought to preconceive.
Such bright reflections!
If I could fly where in the world would I possibly go?
Up and away I would go only with you.
My destination remaining incognito!
If I could fly, I’d want to stay up and away!
What an incredible zone just to pass through!
Such a magnificent plateau!
If I could fly, I’d fly only for you!
