As the Crow Flies

All here is good
Still and quiet
A branch
Blossom heavy
Lit by the sun
Flowers in the meadow
In full bloom
Midsummer
Stars fall
Earthbound
Catching the uplift
Taking to the skies
Slip the bonds of childhood
And home
No glance behind
All is still and quiet
There she goes
Into the fields
The turning of the wheels
The sound of children’s laughter
Fading with the distance
Measured out in years
Take flight to the skies
With hopes and dreams
Hopes and dreams
Safe landings, my loves
Always
Straight as the crow flies
The beat of wings
The great escape
Build you some
Bridges back to earth
To solid ground
Hope not to fall
Or drift away
Take flight to the skies
With hopes and dreams
Hopes and dreams
Good journeys, my loves
Straight and true
Take flight to the far skies
Distant as you dare
Don’t let anybody tell you
That you’re too close to the sun
All here is good
Still and quiet
