How to Dream

I cannot seem to fly--

For I am wingless and earth bound.

Still, I open my arms and wave frantically,

And though I commit all my might,

I cannot ever lift myself and fly.

I think and wonder and then dream.

Slowly closing my heavy eyelids,

And my breaths become deep and calm.

In my mind’s eye I spread my arms.

I feel the breeze flow beneath me.

I can almost feel the warm sun on my face.

I imagine all that can be seen from above.

And in that moment

I am lifted.
