Fly Away... Poem by Nestor David Armas

You fly forth on wings of dreams,

I'm a fool trying to catch you,

But you are not a butterfly,

You will not be a part of my collection,

And so further you drift away from me,

Yet I continue to chase after you,

You who floated into my dreams,

Beautiful winged fairy,

Unattainable and unreachable,

Why did you ever cross my path?

Now I'm caught in an endless pursuit,

Will I ever hold you within my grasp?

But as long as your image is there,

I will continue in this vicious circle,

Following you wherever you may be,

And if I ever take hold of you,

I will never let go,

For you are my shooting star,

My everlasting dream,

But fly away and be merry,

For I do not wish to intercede,

In your path, your fury flight,

Fly and be just within reach,

I will forever give chase,

For within my restless dreams,

I will always love you...
