today, I fly

The sky azure today

 with white cottons
splayed about
a  calm display
it quiets
my soul
slows the beat of
my heart

I need this

in lieu of a fire
that’s been burning
inside me  for some time
now

my nights filled

with unrest
sleep being
a cherished
commodity,
dreams, a treasure

the demons of life

are pulling me
wanting to thrust
me into a dark abyss
where only depression
and anguish
befits

I choose to sing

to bring me out
of the dark and grey
but the score of words
seem to come filled
with tears of
forlorn

this translucent blue

and its soft attire
hopefully shall bring  
my feathered friends
who will sing to me
and they will share
their sky, they understand,
today, I am also
needing to fly
