Flight, and the Joys Thereof

Wind, flowing over my feathers
Nothing can stand up
To the immense joy I feel

The ground, miles below my wings
Hard, unforgiving
Is the wrath of gravity

Air, all around my sleek form
It is nice and soft
A gift from Mother Nature

Feathers, attached to my wings
Anchored in my back
Are providing all the lift

Muscles, small and powerful,
Thrusting the air down
Pushing me up to the clouds

Bones, honeycombed and very light
And yet strong as steel
Are all the machined girders

Tendons, like steel cables, are stretched
Between aluminum
Beams, ready to move them now

As I fly, I see many
Things, amazing things,
Things you cannot imagine

I don’t know if anything
Is real, but I know
That nobody believes me

It may only be a dream
But one thing’s certain:
Flight is the best part of life




Far From Angelic

It has dark ebony wings
Soaring in the night
It is far from angelic

Does it have two legs or four?
It is hard to tell
But it's definitely there

Is it good or is it bad?
Who are we to say?
I doubt it would even care

As it flies over the land
It passes the Moon
Its outline is still unclear

It is neither bird nor plane
Neither friend nor foe
It is simply a flier

Powerful and majestic
New and alien
Is it even of this world?

It is loyal to itself
And to those it loves
The question is, does it love?

Prehaps it's truly alone
No others compare
For it is one of a kind

But it doesn't care at all
It has all it needs
Looking at the moon in awe

It would be accepted here
But for one reason:
It is far from angelic





The Golden Sky


I once saw a Sky of gold
And I stared at it
In wonder

I once met a Sky of gold
And I said to it
I love you

I once held a Sky of gold
And it said to me
Let's go fly

I once hugged a Sky of gold
And I said to it
You're Pretty

I once kissed a Sky of gold
And it said to me
Love you too

I once broke my Sky of gold
And I said to it
I'm sorry

I once missed a Sky of gold
For it said to me
We're over

I once fixed the Sky of gold
But it will never
Be the same

I once helped a Sky of gold
And it said to me
Forgiven

I once loved a Sky of gold
And I say today
I still do.





Luna

Luna won't you cry for me
I feel so lonely
I beg you to set me free

Luna won't you calm my fears
They are just awful
I've been having them for years

Luna won't you guide me home
I have gotten lost
For I've always got to roam

Luna won't you stop my dreams
They plague every night
Wake me up and shush the screams

Luna won't you fix my heart
It's never felt love
It's broken and ripped apart

Luna won't you break the spell
I'm dying inside
My life is a living hell

Luna won't you leave me be
The bad is over
And now I'm feeling happy

Luna won't you come and meet
My love I have found
My broken heart is complete

Luna won't you be a dear
Go help someone else
You have got nothing to fear

Luna won't you have some fun
We're at a party
And we're not going to run

Luna won't you come and see
The children, the twins
It would mean so much to me

Luna won't you cry for me
Not out of sadness
But because we're all happy





Corrupted Harmony

Today, Laughter is no more
It has been twisted
Into your darkest nightmares
When all you care for
Is gone, Laughter can't help you

Kindness has been inverted
Going from gentle
All the way to harsh insults
No more are you loved
Instead, you feel the world's hate

Generosity is gone
Replaced by the greed
Of the Earth's population
She who once gave all
Is now the worst of hoarders

Say goodbye to Honesty
It is but a lie
Like the illusion of peace
It has become dead
From little white lies to this

Loyalty is nothing much
For the one its has made
Its choice to leave the many
And fend for itself
They had nothing to offer

Magic has been demolished
For it is not real
And what nobody believes
Will never exist
The key to Harmony, lost
