Flight
By: Nessa


Cry these teardrops,
Gentle ice, glass, diamond
Upon a flushed and silken cheek --
Graceful, like a ballerina,
You dance at whispered words.
Slow movement, fluttering on a breeze --
Taking flight as thought you'd lived your life
For this moment:
A moment of freedom!
Dance, my child, dance among the stars
And whisper to the moon --
For your flight has only just begun...
