Poem - Flying Up

I want to fly

I want to spread my wings

And soar above the earth

I want to sail on the waves of heat

Flowing across mountains and valleys

Looking down on the river

As it winds its way into the fields.

Green-bordered with trees swaying in the wind

I want to fly

I want to spread my wings

And soar above the earth

I want to look down on cities and towns

Little people like Little ants

Running around

Rushing around

Not making much sense

Looking down at the roads

Traffic starting stopping going

As they criss-cross the city

Black bordered with shadows of the buildings

I want to fly

I want to spread my wings

And soar above the earth

High above the North Pole

The icy plains and brilliant sun

Glaring into my eyes

The vastness unbroken by any color

Just the one great canyon

Layers of ice like a cosmic ice cream

White bordered by the vastness of a frozen desert

I want to fly

I want to spread my wings

And soar above the earth

One gorgeous, beautiful earth

Blue and Green and white

Slowly circling the golden orb

No borders anywhere to be seen

Wonder when we got so caught up

In the yours and mine thing?
