Flying with the heart of a God

Heather Lydia Thornhill 1981 (Manchester)

Rhymed
I do not want to fly
Or feel the clouds thundering by
For I would lose your sweet embrace
If I decided to die

I do not want to feel
I do not want to cry
But all the subtle duties flair
When my heart is in the air

I do not want to soar
Or see the ground as more
And how it etches between our worlds
That I haven't yet explored

I do not want to climb
Into space where the air isn't mine
And leave my body behind
To a lost moment in time
