To Reach, to Stand, to Fly

A world without borders
is a mighty thing indeed
and when you find yourself with it
It is freedom from adversity

What reach have you within your mind?
Consider only what you desire
Is your star rising, your path clear
Or will your dreams die in fire?

Hold out your hand, gentle being
And we will show you the way
A new perspective new way of seeing
Powers that will come into play

Twist the meaning in your cards
to suit you, and you will lose
Fate is dealt and not decided
It is not yours to choose.

But dream, gentle soul, and open your thoughts
To what may yet lay in store
For when you think you have it all
You will only desire more

Eyes- close, perhaps for good.
What is there to regret?
Will you do as most of them would,
Seeing only credits and Debt?

Live- Breathe- your life is string
A simple, woven thread
And it is the only possession you really have
When all is done and said.

So play when you will, smile as you may
Keep your feathers clean
Worry not over what might occur
Or what certain words might mean.

There are many who believe in you
There are many who never will.
In the end, it is your inner void
that only you can fill.

Grow, little plant, Fly, hatchling dear
Your strength will carry you far
And I will think fondly of you
Wherever, whoever, you are
