The Blue Vineyard Of Voo Shining Stone: It Won't Be Tonight

The Blue Vineyard Of Voo Shining Stone: It Won't Be Tonight: Glen Hansard It Won't Be Tonight Standing on the precipice  That steep and craggy cliff that draws my wounded soul ...

Illusion Of Flight

 

Illusion of Flight

Catching the sight of three birds in flight

From the corner of my left eye, I

Felt a momentary pang of longing

Deep in the chest where my heart lies.

Fettered by feet and weary human-ness

I confess I am tired of this earth bound existence

Tired of this walking on hard packed sod

And ancient burial grounds of the long forgotten.

I want to rise up with wings

And soar with the freedom of untied dreams

Glide on the currents of the truly unbound

And dance on the intangible glories of sky.

I want to fly!

But still I walk, sighing loudly

The birds out of sight now, I

Hurry to my cubicle of conformity

Shoved in with the masses of the all-the-same.

Almighty dollars pressure me to reach

Needing them to meet my need, I

Strive in futile, uninspired destituted hope

Ever mindful of the ship coming in on the horizon.

I want to fly!

If I had been born a bird

I'd fly until my feathers fell out

And my wings would not lift me off the ground

And then I'd fly, a ghostbird, in Eden's realm.

I want to fly!

Retracing my steps back home from work

I sought to find the beautiful birds, I

Had seen in peripheral sight this morning

Knowing that it was an almost impossible thing.

But what! From the corner of my right eye

I spy their graceful forms above the hedges

Three white stainless birds of steel and structure

Fettered to the concrete by bars of iron!

I am crushed, I am disheartened, I am disconsolate

This revelation of illusion of flight has undone me

And I walk home with a much, much heavier heart

Than the one I had this morning.

I want to fly!
