Tickling the Sky
off the cliff
why would wayward wishes
just drift away…
like an indecisive feather
they aim to plummet
straight into the heart
like a feather
discovering gravity
you see it isn't feathers
like you all thought
it's the ingenuity of using feathers
A bird of many colors walks the land
the forest dwellers dance in delirium
they whisper, "Why does it not fly?"
the shimmering bird catches the soft words
floating by on a slight breeze
the breeze ruffling its feathers
blue ripples
red flashes
purple… oh my!
gilded gold graces the imagination
and grey doesn't matter
the bird whispers, "why don't I fly?"
the wind cannot help but hear
it has been waiting after all
gravity grimaces
I kiss the pretty girl
love enters my life
the most beautiful bird in the world
takes flight
