Wings

Wings If I had my wings I would fly Way up high in the sky There's a place where my wings used to be When I came here they took them from me They said people on earth do not fly I am people? I asked them why You are not air borne anymore Must keep your feet on the floor Up past the clouds is my home A beautiful place under a dome Someday I'll go there. I really believe. When I get there I shall never leave The place where my wings used to be Itches sometimes so fiercely Like they are pushing their way through my skin Growing back to where they have been I watch the birds twitter and fly Way up high in the sky They fly high and sit in the trees While I am down here on my knees Why did you send me here to this place? Were you trying my memory to erase? What have I done to make you so mad? You are the only parent I've ever had Creator speaks! Stop fussin' and fumin' For now you are human You needed this test So give it your best Soon you'll come back to me Now let all your whining flee From your lips. Be happy for now You will find out how I stilled myself and looked above To where he was that I so love I will stay though I don't belong On earth and listen to the bird's song.
