Fly poem,
even on tired wings,
even into mist and night,
fly poem,
like a hymn,
like a prayer,
like an unexpected gift,
your words
like an engine,
your lines
like an orchestra,
fly poem,
for everyone
even for those who aren’t looking for you
or don’t believe in you,
fly poem
like a seagull,
like a hunted creature,
fly poem,
fall like subtle rain
like a hurricane
like light snow
which cleanses
and purifies and protects,
fly poem,
you’ll always be
a drop of peace
and light
for someone.
