Flying high over mountain tops
griefnaturecitypoliticsmemorytime
Flying high over mountain tops
Feathering cloud cover
Heavy with droplets
Of recycled water
Ready to fall
Dipping deep down into valleys
Brushing treetops
Pine needles spinning
Catching the light
As they turn
Bursting into flame
As tindersticks
Shimmering against
A loch
Cracked with reflections
Scattered
Beneath strong wide wings
As the dreamer soars
There is no wax
No melting
Or spiraling down
To the ground
The sun bleaching
Over distant rooftops
As warm
As it was yesterday
Tired old potato head
Eyes drooping
Sleep soon to follow
Afternoon slumbers
Sofa driven dreams
We can be wherever
We want to be
It only takes a moment
To be spirited away
One for sorrow
Two for joy...
