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
