Fly Away



Sometimes I can fly away into the cloudy sky on silent wings
To see the cities and town below.
I like to soar like an eagle.
I glide around the earth with never tired never ceasing beating wings.
I watch the people as they do their never ending jobs and chores.
I have slept on clouds and lay there dreaming.
I walked through the bright cities there and stayed for a whole week.
These cities have many different colors, shapes, and sizes.
Here you could be a movie star or work in Vegas.
What is this place?
What gives you this wonderful power?
Your imagination; it will never let you down.
Yet, it is what you do with it that makes it extraordinary.
