Flying with our eyes Closed



When I was a child I caught a glimpse of something amazing,
It was the most beautiful thing I have ever seen.
Its beauty was magnificent just as its voice was.
It flew high in the sky, the wind touching its wings.
It was something that was truly free.
It made me believe that I could fly as well,
I closed my eyes and just let go,
I realized flying is easier then you could ever imagine.
I was finally happy I could touch the clouds; I could feel the wind on my face.
I could feel the sun on my back, it was a comfortable warmth.
I have become truly free, when you see and feel the beauty I have,
Just let go and fly free with me.
We will close our eyes, jump of the cliff with me.
We will soar through the air with no regrets.
We are now Flying with Our eyes Closed.
