And I Shall Fly Once More

3rd-4th July 2021

Wings against this wide, wide sky

A speck among the cloudlets white

Higher, higher, I shall fly,

Towards the brazen blaze of light.

Now free, I shall roam above

Lost yet found, alone but content

As I expect, there comes a shove.

Again, bound am I to repent

Down I fall, with burning wings

Weighing down as I sink deep.

Guilt comes to mind, the anger sings,

Allowing all the grief to seep.

Before, up high, I was allowed

A moment to forget my sins,

But now, a heap upon the ground

All hope is gone and defeat wins.

For some time, I shall have to hide

And wait until my wings grow strong.

I'll contemplate, reflect and ride

Through this search for where I belong.

A day will come when hope shall show,

Or hope shall shine, or wash ashore

When that day comes, my hope shall grow

And I shall fly once more.

Definition of cloudlet: a small cloud

This is the first poem I have written in quite some time. It isn't about me or anyone in particular, so there is no need to worry! It is partly based on a fictional character I made.
