Learn to Fly

Well, then.

Soaring high, so far above me,

Your halo shining strong

Down here the tears flow for I know

I will never belong.

 

That golden shining light of yours

Begins to lose its shine

The feathers falling off your wings,

You're running out of time

 

Just when I'd thought you'd fallen

Thought you'd be here to stay

Your halo and wings appeared again

You left me, flew away

 

So I climb as high as I can reach

Not much else I can do

And launch myself into the air

Hoping to fly with you

Stop being awesome, I'm jealous. D:

No, really Sarah... this is amazing. This is my favorite of yours I've read so far. I... it's so literal and so symbolic at the same time, it's like a poem that tells two stories at once: a fairytale and a real story. I just adore this. It's one of THE best poems I have read on this website, I believe.

Just epic.
