To Fly – 2015 posting

.

We toss our burlap robes into the fire,

with no one left to preach, gone is the choir.

.

Come weave new cloth with capers of the dawn,

in rosy flowing garbs we’ll carry on.

.

Each seam we’ll sew with needles made of gold

and silver threads embroidered on each fold

.

and then with pockets full of wind and sky

like sacred chiffon kites we’ll learn to fly.
