Flying

Poem by: Clara Pond

Flying and

Flying and 

No I'll never let go.

Flying and

Flying and 

I've got nothing left so...

Beat my wings 

Made from fear,

Take me away 

From all those near.

Show me a new life 

Where no one sees me,

I'm just a shadow 

Then I'll be truly free.

Higher and higher 

Those warm lights so cold,

I've left the flock 

Without a hand to hold.

Forever I dreamed

Of my escape,

The wind my boat

Turned away from hate.

Oh how they hurt me 

I bleed day in and out,

The others just stared

Enjoying my red shouts.

But when I thought 

My hope was gone,

Feathers then grew 

Full wings by dawn.

I laughed as I ran

The wind blowing fast,

The currents my ocean

My core my mast.

And now I am doing 

What I always saw,

Diving in my flight 

My wings without flaw.

Oh no, I'm not worried 

About where I'll land,

Because on solid ground 

I'll never again stand.

I'll die on my journey 

Which will never end,

In death I'll just fly 

To Heaven instead.

Flying and

Flying and 

No I'll never let go.

Flying and

Flying and 

I've got nothing left so...
