Speak Yourself #5 : The Spruce Goose

The warm Sun,
that proverbial growth
The limitless Sky,
that proverbial freedom
I can say we beings on Earth
dream the same, the same..

The journey's a climb,
long arduous hike,
limb before limb, after, repeat
up the ladder
sometimes, only out on a limb
wishing to fly, hoping to fly
dream the same, the same..

So here am I
on a 'Flying Lumberyard',
on it's first flight into the Sky
the way forwards is up ahead
always up, always ahead
while both of us have
dreamt the same, the same..

-------------------------------------------------

Concluding thoughts:

Birds fly, like they are supposed to.
They are called 'birds' because they fly..
But some dreams are too powerful, powerful enough to enable 'woods and humans' to fly.. So can we call them birds now?
Nah.. not the woods and humans
I meant the dreams..
