I Flew Away

by Lexi Hilife - Leo


I was string,glue,drycleaner's wrapping paper blue
You made me
We went to the beach that very same day
You drew a cloud God on the front (he looked so real)
We saved all the string from every package
Tailed it with the most raggedy towel
Seagulls did  acrobatic dances as they cawed & squealed
Wind rose to just the right speed 
Me...... I held on tight
I was so attatched to daydreams
The string broke right at the clouds
Some dreams come true 
I saw my tattered scruffy little tennis shoes 
They tried to catch me
All that water, all that sand below me
Kept this curious little soul climbing
I could'nt think of one single reason 
To stay anchored to the secret that hurt 
Not one person could tell me why I should stay
So that day in my imagination forever   
I Flew Away        Lexi Hilife

Reason for writing:

    A time when my father set me free once, the kite & his parental love were completely real & my imagination was my very own. That day. I was his little Pookie.
