Learning To Fly

There's no sensation to compare with this
Suspended animation
A state of bliss
Can't keep my mind from the circling skies
Tongue-tied and twisted just an
earth-bound misfit, I

Into the distance, a ribbon of black
Stretched to the point of no turning back
A flight of fancy on a windswept field
Standing alone my senses reeled
Fatal attraction is holding me fast
how can I escape this irresistible grasp

Can't keep my eyes from the circling skies
Tongue-tied and twisted just an earth-bound misfit, I

Ice is forming on the tips of my wings
Unheeded warnings I thought I thought of everything
No navigator to guide my way home
Unladened, empty and turned to stone
A soul in tension is learning to fly
Condition grounded but determined to try

Can't keep my eyes from the circling skies
Tongue-tied and twisted just an earth-bound misfit, I

Above the planet on a wing and a prayer,
My grubby halo, a vapour trail
in the empty air
Above the clouds I see my shadow fly
Out of the corner of my watering eye
A dream unthreatened by the morning light
Could blow this soul right through
the roof of the night

been there - done that - came back for the re-runs

a quick note about the soul. the soul has no personality. however; the soul does retain experience(s).
including the experience of personality. choose your experience wisely.
