Learning to Fly
Into the distance, a ribbon of blackStretched to the point of no turning backA flight of fancy on a windswept fieldStanding alone my senses reelA fatal attraction is holding me fastHow can I escape this irresistible grasp?Can't keep my eyes from the circling skyTongue-tied and twisted just an earthbound misfit, IIce is forming on the tips of my wingsUnheeded warnings, I thought I thought of everythingNo navigator to find my way homeUnladen, empty and turned to stoneA soul in tension, that's learning to flyCondition grounded but determined to tryCan't keep my eyes from the circling skiesTongue-tied and twisted just an earthbound misfit, IAbove the planet on a wing and a prayer,My grubby halo, a vapour trail in the empty airAcross the clouds I see my shadow flyOut of the corner of my watering eyeA dream unthreatened by the morning lightCould blow this soul right through the roof of the nightThere's no sensation to compare with thisSuspended animation, a state of blissCan't keep my mind from the circling skiesTongue-tied and twisted just an earthbound misfit,
