I sit alone under a buttermilk sky;
Gazing and wishing I could fly there.
I have no roots like the flowers that surround.
I have nothing to nourish me as I gaze each night alone.
I have nothing to nourish me each day as I sit alone.
I cannot reach to the Light above to rekindle my
Light within.
Let me fly, let me fly up to that Light up in the sky
Away from this casket called earth.

very creative with the powerful imagery conveyed within what comes through as just a "conscious thought in the mind". intriguing in the way it poses many questions in the reader about the future, without even inviting them to.
