If Only

  If only,
          I had wings
            flying soaring
            Brilliant plumage
            in boundless blue
              Riding the thermals
              free from restraint,
              all earthly cares
                To circle snow capped peaks
                Oceanus seething, rolling
              foaming far beneath me
            Gliding across tree tops
          No cages with steel
        binding unfurled wings
    constricting a spirit
        that should be free
  If only
