Fly (An Original Poem)

in #poetry5 years ago (edited)

Free me
from this gravity,
only long enough
so that my
mind may rest,
my soul may wander,
and this heart,
for a moment,
might feel
a splendid
absence of yearning.

There is so
much more
to this life
than we can see
and these
words are wings
that hold me aloft
just long enough
to remember.

Worries and wants
are beggars
who keep us
mired in mortality
and ever shield us
from our truths.

When life
leaves us lost
we must only
remember that
inside each of us is
all we will ever need…

So
call on
the alchemy
of your words,
spread your wings,
and fly.

Hi Eric, what a beautiful poem. I think the poem tells about someone's desire to be free. Enjoy your day, sir.

Thank you! You're correct! This one is about how, as an author, your words have the potential to set you free...emotionally and physically.

This one got wings that could set anyone to free and fly !

Amazing !

Wise words!
