I want to dance with Orion,
But I’m pinned to the ground.
I want to soar with the eagles.
I want to sing the wind’s sound.
I ache to move with the moonlight,
But the sun blinds my eyes.
I ache to waltz with Perseus.
I ache to breath in the skies.
I yearn to pluck strings of Lyra,
But my fingers are tired.
I yearn to fly with the comets.
I yearn to meet space inspired.
Wow…this is lovely. I found myself especially responding to the hyperbole of singing the wind’s sound and breathing in the skies. You have a gifted way with words… 🙂
Thanks! It’s one of my favorite poems I’ve written.
