THE WAY WINGS
SHOULD
What
will
our children do in the morning?
Will they wake with their hearts wanting to play,
the way wings
should?
our children do in the morning?
Will they wake with their hearts wanting to play,
the way wings
should?
Will they have
dreamed the needed flights and gathered
the strength from the planets that all men and women need to balance
the wonderful charms of
the earth
the strength from the planets that all men and women need to balance
the wonderful charms of
the earth
so that her
power and beauty does not make us forget our own?
I know all
about the ways of the heart - how it wants to be alive.
Love so needs
to love
that it will endure almost anything, even abuse,
just to flicker for a moment. But the sky's mouth is kind,
its song will never hurt you, for I
sing those words.

What will our
children do in the morning
if they do not see us
fly?
if they do not see us
fly?
