 Fly Away

Updated: May 20, 2024

Pirouetting and dancing

No chains and no rules

Only flight.

I am jealous as I lie in your arms

Earthbound.


I must let you go

I must be beautiful without you

Like a bird

Without your affection

I must fly unhindered across a purple sky

I must learn to love myself

Without your love behind me


You are so beautiful and so brave and so wonderful

But I must fly away from you

Like a bird

Up through the trees

To the sun

Like a bird.

Separation -vs- freedom . . . nice comparison to contemplate.
