In the smoke of the twilight, a girl in flight.
a flicker and then another, new star energy to mirror each twinkle in the pools of jet-lagged eyes,
bigger, brighter more electrifying than the veiling azul
I’m but a heartbeat behind
to sweep up the sparkles
for in a shadowed shelter
are they most coveted
along with grace
and peaceful stillness
the sweet surrender,
it’s now or never
birdie fly,
fly to the moon and beyond
I’ll make it there if I have to crawl
to fulfil this dream
to fulfil the promise from that other land
