Open Sky

The sky called with open arms

To the birds of the Earth

But forgetten were we

The humans longing to be free

So I opened my arms and jumped

Off the windblown Earth

To the sound of a million drums

And the light of a thousand suns

Lighting my face

And filling my lungs

With the undying breath

Of freedom

But when I fell

The sky sucked it back in

Stole my breath

And demanded I land

Never to fly again
