Like the sun that radiates innocence at dawn
Like the purity of fresh, unabated pain
Like the first steps to an unconditional faith
Like the roads that take you home
You.
A dress with a tear that only you can see
A mistletoe waiting for a new, wet kiss
A broken kaliedoscope - unused
A bird that's forgotten to sing
This world that's trying to breathe.
And I fear I've forgotten to dream
The mist strays too low
And I can see you holding your hand out
Way too far
And I said I'd never compromise
I misjudged
And I wished for a happy ending
When I flung myself over a steel rail.
But now I'm flying
Would you like to fly with me?

depends on where you're going
If you don't forget to fly, then the dreams will come back too. :)

My favourite lines.
I think it's the company we're in at times which changes everything.
I loved the fluidity in this poem...
Maybe you'll be flung back to a better earth. Here's to hoping.
Happy new year!
