Monday Poem: Flight Over Open Seas

Flight Over Open Seas

I will go down to the sea shore
and I shall invent the possibility
of flight taken over open seas.

I will take flight and soar
out towards the open skies
that are always blue and forever.

I will see all those seas spread out
and all those distant lands below me
where you search through your dreams

To find a country that feels like home
and where everyone you meet knows
your name and why you live as you do,

Floating through a slow life that pulses
with the heartbeat of some loving thing
you know is waiting in some far-off land.
