Ephemeral Flight

January10

Your wings will take you away
From a wretched place to a better home
To take flight is all you will ever need
Can you even make it off the ground?

Your wings will never burn up
Though they are forever ephemeral
Don’t lose your head in the sky
How long before you hit the ground?

Your wings will only carry you so far
Running away was the only choice you had
You will never be the same after the skies
Where will you go when you land?
