My little zoo

I would love to run free
Die wild
Beautifully

I would love to fly alone
Under a moon like a silver sun

A nightstone star

Or a songbird, gone far, far away

To feel the burn of cool night air

In my racing lungs and feet

To know the fury of the storms

To dance as lightning flashes fire

To sleep wrapped safe in evening winds

To wake as night lovingly descends

To once more gaze upon the stars

To let go of hope and fear

I would love to understand

My deepest self, and to see the dream

Of all the rest in our daily lives

As I watch from shadows deep

And keep the silence of my sleep

Someday we'll reach for that ever-beautiful wonderland...
