should you fly

if you would sing
sing loud
or sing soft
but sing
for a voice in song
brings a new season

were you to dance
fast or slow
matters not
just dance
for this is how the gods
pass
their time

but should you fly
fly far
fly away old man
loose this earth from your
feet
go find your sky

yet dare you sing
only to have your voice lose its timbre
and while dancing stumble
if you fall to earth broken
as so many before you

deny it
accept no proof
turn from all you believe real
then raise your voice
climb to your feet
unfold your wings
once more

and
sing out
dance the night

take flight!
