Take Flight Poem by Randy McClave

My heart is heavy, but my soul is light
And like a bird I want to take flight
Leaving my troubles and worries far behind
I want to sail the skies and forget mankind
Up in the sky I just need to sail
Flying towards heaven and away from hell
Up in the sky is from where I want to look down
As I still want to remember the people on the ground
Then I will forget everyone that had done me wrong
And for them one and all I will whistle them a song
Happily I will then fly with the wind upon my face
Then finally for my living I will give life its embrace
Sailing with the clouds and soaring with the breeze
Traveling where I want as myself is all I need to please
Flying over the countryside and viewing the landscape
I then will be happy as I have made my escape
I need to forget my worries and burdens and fly
Far, far, away and high up in the sky
My heart is so heavy and my soul is light
I need to be like a bird and quickly take flight.
