Let Me Fly

From sea to plains to mountains high
I've persude the sea and sky.
To be held down would be my woe
Because I must get up and go.
Do not try to hold me back 
From seeing caves and mountian track
From sleeping under moon and stars
From being far from smog and cars
Cause I can't do it,
There is no way,
I can't be tied down in one place.  
Maybe, for a week or two
I'll meet new people, enjoy the view.
But then I have to pack and go,
Theres more out there I'd like to know.
And do not beg for me to stay
I'll miss the icebergs far away
I'll miss the dives and hikes and crawls
I'll miss the sound of water falls
I'll miss the touch of dirt to skin
I'll miss the smell when fall begins.
Cause I can't do it.
Not any more.
I must be free to go explore.

  • A Space Among The Stars

    To live in a space among the stars
    I'd have to get binoculars
    To see the dentist on the moon
    And find the next Uber at noon.
    To live in a space among the stars
    I'd have to float to school in cars.
  • Frost

    Its fingers were hot
    and cold and
    sweet and dark.
    All at the same time.

    Sleeeeep. 

    It whispered in her ear.
    Her petals shivered.
    Its breath ran slowly
    down
    her stem and
    tickled a leaf.
