I’ve been dreaming of flying

17 October 2021 ~ W. Donovan

I’m standing here, on the firm ground
reaching out so high
I’ve been dreaming of flying
to the skies
where I can see my thoughts
where I can unite with myself.
Yet, I’m standing here
chained like a horse
running round and round
with my neat shoes on
I step into puddles
wanting them to be mirrors.

Where do I go
with my broken armor
so indifferent
still longing for something
that has never been here.

born in rain
streaming down my face
drawn in a fantasy
creating unreal realms
revealed in sadness
blackening the skies
i cannot hold a single sphere
dig a hole in the ground
to pour my soul in

Born in rain
I can only become water again.

Understood your write but on a side not and food for thought, but might the swimming in the mirror reflection qualify as floating and flying in the sky to find oneself?

  Well, I was thinking about mirrors that take you to the other side, so yes, they allow you to float in the sky 🙂
