Erin , Loose the Kite String
Can the calm of August suns
Hush the eagles' flapping wings?
Can it stall the flight desired
Break this pulsing drive to heaven
This unrequited prayer within us?
Do not love to lie undreaming
Give motions to your visions
Unchain your vaulting silhouettes
Rain your heartbeats down in showers.
Erin, Loose your kite string
and fly... fly... fly
