Mountain Flower
If I were a mountain flowerthat wanted to fly free
I would not
wither from within
if I lost my earthly binds
I would ask the wind
to carry me
to the heavens above
and dance with
the angels there
and beg to be transformed into one of them
To distant shores I'd fly
and see all that I could see
and touch all that I could touch
and feel the beauty all around
and my soul would flourish
with joy and passion
and when I've had my fill and
tire of my wings
maybe you'll still be around
to catch me
as I fall
and nurture me with love
until my feet touch the ground
I'd sink my toes
into the earth
and find peace
in being
still.
