Fly
Can you take me flying?
Like we once did?
Could you take my hand and throw me to
the sky with you at my heels?
I fear I am sitting still, like a lake gone stagnant.
And I want to feel the waves in my bones,
the wind in my sails, again.
So let me fly, my dear,
for I fear if I cannot touch the sun, again,
my spark will go out,
for good.
