If I Could Fly

If I could fly on a sunny day,
I'd watch my shadow on the ground,
Dance on treetops' gentle sway,
Then up through clouds, to look around.


Skimming waves, bluegreen and wide,
I am light, I am song without a care,
After resting, on the other side,
I'd flutter---up to those glories beyond compare.


Feeling whole, as one, with the powerful wind,
With the shadow-making sun on my back,
The sky becomes a tapestry, when sun-setting colors blend,
Sprinklings of stars appear above, as day slips into black.


Sailing-on freely, in moon's shadow light,
Sometimes, as a butterfly through a field of flowers,
Everywhere is beauty; perfect feasting for sight,
A humbling new experience of nature's solid powers.


Ready my wings just once, and once more,
So I may ascend on a sunny day... 
From mountaintop to beachy shore,
Let me fly away, fly away, find a new way...
