Fly With Me Poem by Michael Webb

Rain is falling
It sounds like a river
Rushing to a waterfall
To take a dive

Death is calling
To a lonely sinner
Who has built 4 walls
Who hides inside

Can you hear me
I love you
I just realized
My voice is gone

Why do you fear me
I promise I'm not ugly
At least on the inside
Can you please respond

Not with a forced smile
But with eyes that see
Deep beneath the lies
That we speak

I've been gone awhile
Adrift a wicked sea
Below the grayest skies
Deeper I sink

But I love you
With everything remaining
I always will
Because you kept me alive

Mistakes I can't undue
That would keep taking
Your will
To always try

I understand
That you couldn't stand
To close to me
But that is okay

This isn't our land
So take my hand
With this key
We fly away

No longer falling
Like the drops of rain
No longer drowning
In rivers of pain

I love your wings
They match your soul
You know these things
Just let god take control
