On Raven Wings

On raven wings we fly each night
In search of brighter days
For lighter things we rise to flight
On nighttide's tranquil plays
The night set in
Clouds blanketing the horizon
Drifting, stealing
(-gliding away-)
His shadow waltzed
Across the asphalt, a silver lining
All its own
Twirling, leaping with the beat
(No music, just The Lion King in his head)
And it was 1999 all over again
The moon peeked in
From the gaps
Of his wooden fortress
(The playground all his own)
And the winds tickled his ears
With the secrets of the universe
(But he couldn't tell anyone, 'cause he promised them
--And pinky promises couldn't be broken)
While the night crept in
Gliding, screeching--
--'cause the sky was falling down (again.)
And he thought it was a dream
That he was going to wake up soon
That it wasn't really happening
...and we'd all thought that too,
Once.
(On raven wings we fly each night
In search of brighter days
(Horizons teasing ever-so
In tantalizing rays
And if the stars could tell us no
Our wishes far away
(We'd seek our swansong's score although
Tomorrow comes today--)
For lighter things we rise to flight
Our feathers wind-torn grays.
