Fly Away
I want my mind to wander somewhere
I’ve never seen–a place tucked
inside someone else’s dream,
where light falls through the vines
and the world outside goes quiet.
I’d take your shadows
and blend them with my own.
Let your ghosts move in.
They’d feel at home with mine.
There must be a place
where dreams walk freely,
where angels and demons
sit across from each other
and just talk.
I feel the pull getting stronger.
We’d soar over crystal peaks,
look down at a world
that speaks in silence.
Float above ancient walls,
ride alongside gryphons
and fairies from stories
nobody tells anymore.
No hurt up there. No worry.
Just the mist and the bliss
of being somewhere
that doesn’t ask anything of you.
Why can angels and demons
unfurl their wings
while we stay stranded,
stuck in time’s long exhale?
Be my angel.
Share your wings.
We’ll go somewhere
pain can’t follow.
Close your eyes with me.
Let the wind take us
to a place beyond sight,
beyond the pull of everything
that holds us here.
Close your eyes.
We’ll fly.
