About the work
I flew last night
My soul taking flight
From an outstretched hand
Of this earthbound vessel
Like a cannery eager
To see a world beyond me
I flew away with open glee
Horizon cresting
Orange meeting yellow
Stories enfolded
In faces and places
My soul saw wonders too vast to behold
Despite Dark Spirits descending
Like vultures of prey, Light’s simplicity
Held supreme in the heart of those in the trenches
I flew yet higher, to the stars I soared
Listening to the harmonious song

Title I Flew
I flew last night
My soul taking flight

My soul saw wonders too vast to behold
Despite Dark Spirits descending
Like vultures of prey, Light’s simplicity
Held supreme in the heart of those in the trenches
I flew yet higher, to the stars I soared
Listening to the harmonious song
