Let Me Fly

• Artist: oX-silent-rose-Xo
• Description: I wrote this poem this afternoon, while we were listening to William Taylor in the Auckland`s Readers && Writers Festival. I was quite bored, and so I decided to compete with my brother, who also is writing a poem about flying and such, and wrote my own poem about it. PLUS I`M AGAINST US NOT BEING ABLE TO FLY =(
  Enjoy =D

Tonight, as I stare up to the dark blue sky
I wonder why humans were not made to fly
Why we're cursed with our feet on the ground
Never to look down on our world from the clouds

Why our feathers were replaced with skin
Arms replacing our non-existent wings
What did we do that cost our freedom in the sky?
Why were we punished with a world full of lies?

Why are we only capable of dreaming
Of freely rising, soaring, gliding?
Why do we stop our wings from growing
And instead pretend to be content with walking?

Long we have watched birds fly by
Gazing upon them with jealous eyes
So as I drift off to sleep tonight
Please let my dreams take flight

Interesting, reminds me of a book I once read about two England kids who were taking care of a fallen angel.
