A Child's Dream Poem by Noel Horlanda

A Child's Dream

Rating: 5.0


Swing here, swing there
To and fro
Hold on tight altogether
We’re taking off bro?

Hold here, hold there
To and fro
Here we go again together
Sure we do

Bye bye here, bye bye there
Up up and away we go
Hold your breath deeply dear
Into a sky a blue

Sing here, sing there
All officers and crew
Breakdances on air
Loud and clear do

White tail there, red wings here
Soars me up anew
Strange string adhere
On my chest I knew

Skimble-skamble
A white thread aglow
Angst and invincible
Alone and blue

Someone below
Pulls me down
No bird nor corvine flew
But swift kite at dawn

I smiled satisfied
Wanted I back on air
But mummified
Minatory and dare

Awake, away I go!
Fly high into the sky!
Awake, away I go!
Fly high ‘til I die!
