FLY

Fly in the sky
Fly a kite
With a smile
And delight

Fly on the wall
I sometimes
Wish I was
Fly on the wall

Spread my
Mirage wings
Point My antenna
And other feelers

Watch
Provoke
My adversaries

Listen intently
To what
My colleagues
And adversaries
Say about me
Including
My friends
And families

Fly me
Me as a fly
Would like to fly
High up in the sky

Am over the moon
We say
How did
We get there?

Don't have wings
No harm done
To dream or wish

If wishes were horses
Beggars would ride
The saying goes

But I say beggars
Would fly
Satisfy their wishes

Dream is allowed
Let our
Imagination go wild

Look down on earth
Not with disdain
But with delight

Look up the sky
From earth
Do we see any
Difference?

Fly with joy
Feel free
'cos dream
Is free

Spread your wings
Forget your worries
At least for a day

Fly, Fly
In the sky
You don't
Need to be a fly
To fly

'cos it is
Your dream
Telling you to fly

Certificate U
Fantasy

~ γ ~ ~ All of her days have gone soft and cloudy All of her dreams have gone dry All of her nights have gone sad and shady She's getting ready to fly Fly away, fly away fly away Life in the city can make you crazy For sounds of the sand and the sea Life in a high rise can make you hungry For things that you can't even see Fly away, fly away fly away. In this whole world there's nobody as lonely as she There's nowhere to go and there's nowhere That she'd rather be. She's looking for lovers and children playing She's looking for signs of the spring She listens for laughter and sounds of dancing She listens for any old thing Fly away, fly away, fly away ~ John Denver
