you can fly

you can fly

i have been beating these wings

against the Winds of Time

for a while now

there used to be a Time

a place

a space

when

this was so effortless

and now i must close my eyes

held within the consciousness

of this supposed “here”

to soar

is it a jaded sort of fear

that binds man to perception

the deception seems to be woven

so tightly

and perhaps

rightly so

if the objective is

to keep you parted

from what you know . . .

that you can fly
