a flight poem

traveling

  across a span of years and miles, seamlessly,
  bent on knowing
  what these feelings are that I must feel —

heavily

  believing in the moments and the words to come,
  barely showing
  cognizance of what the signs reveal —

    there, among the crowds and clouds,
    a kind of picture growing,
    of why it is the wind will burn
    and why it must keep blowing —

paradox —

  emotions essence, shadows of a summer day
  that tarries
  after all the light has has gone —

serenaded

  by a song whose singer breaks the span of time
  and carries
  with it dreams of all those yesterdays
