for amanda and maria
~
under the clouds
white grey and braids
spread as far as I can see
across heaven
this is the close as I've come
to a place near to god
I believe this is as close
as I may ever be
leaping in faith
with trust in my wings
clothwork patches
of the places I have been
look far below
and if the wind pushes hard
maybe I can find a way
to defy gravity
grasp at the air
hold on to the sky
I'm floating in circles
on up-draughts
and I am higher now
than I have ever been
this is more real
than my feet upon the earth
rising up
to greet me down
bird of the sky
creature of air
when I dream at night now
I know
I can fly
~
I've a feeling I may have inadvertantly pinched soemone else's approach to
this - I keep thinking of something I think is called
'learning to Fly', maybe by Tom Petty. Any thoughts?
Cheers,
Frank
