Me at your age You at my age Our story arcs different Yet the same Facing the unknowable With ignorant defiance For those who would hold back Our be-feathered arms Before the high cliffs where Without ever taking flight One single certified course We’re ready to soar Above the rocks Jagged, hurtful rocks That await disaster And the loving yet fearful Family with invisible strings Let us lift off Let delusion take hold As we piloted, assuming No needed navigator To chart a dream Chicken feathers is what we had A cardboard fuselage And windowless cockpit We saw dreamy vistas Believed we could go higher There were storms Some strong enough to down us In cornfields along highways Where we traveled alone Found our way back home Shared stories like We’d been to Oz Would one day see an emerald city But all it was...was Kansas Time is a journey you take With those dreams Alterable visions for future It’s filled with hope And promise But it takes preparedness And virtue To stay that unknowable course You earn your feathers in this life If you’re like me And I know you are And with each experience Where you fly and survive Out sprouts another feather Stronger arms A more purposed vision Dreams should always be On your horizon Just stop for fuel And don’t forget home Along your way. For Alex who reinspired me |
