i could scale the sky,
climbing clouds,
riding high

i could seize the sun,
but who wants to strangle
such a light?

i could catch a string of stars,
whisper a duet with the wind,
and feel the moon’s smile
among her magnificent scars

i could scale the sky,
climbing clouds,
riding high,
and maybe just sleep a while,
in the air,
while the clouds brush me by
