you were pale
and you were sad
and unfortunately
so whirling, gazing out onto the horizon
you were,
smiling at tomorrow
and the guy next to you
that you forgot how it was
to feel the earth between your toes
it was lost forever in that instant of hair
and eyes going horizontal and merging
becoming one streak of delight.
I knew you then
as one bird knows another
how you longed in your heart to fly
and give up what the earth demands
and silently, in the solace of dawn,
tiptoe away from the roots of the tree
and into the morning sky
