Poem: Take Flight

Expounded by the wind
Into the shimmering sun's flare
Yet undaunted by the obstacles
Unseen, unsought, unaware

Spearheaded beyond our realm
Through the tarnished, cracking seams
They believe in what they see
Their trust within their dreams

So come embrace this liberty
With such unfettered abandon
Take flight, my friends, take flight!
Discard your woes, my foes, take flight!

So raise your minds and free your eyes
And soar unbound above and free
Savour the sweet aftertaste
Of the flight from reality

Those immaculate figures turn back a glance
As they fade from the naked eye
A subtle gesture of a waved hand
A hand for all to take

So release your soul to rejuvenation
And soar beyond your dreams
Taste the joyous esctacy
of the flight of fantasy

This poem was inspired by the theme song from the cartoon "Flight of Dragons" by Peter Dickenson, and empowered by my newfound love for escapism. :)
