"Time Will Tell"

"Time Will Tell"

"There are times, 
When I look up,
And I find that I never want to look down again.
To fly over the buildings
And the trees
And the streets that seem to lead me only to where I have always been.

Sometimes I want to spin...
And spin...
And spin without ceasing.
As if on a swing
Or a merry-go-round;
A time when your world extends only as far as your arms can reach.

And then there was a time
When I glanced out my window
And thought the moon to be unusually large,
And close to me.

I quickly learned, however, that it was only a street lamp
And my hopes of leaving this world,
If only for a moment,
Were struck down once again.

And I landed 
With a crash

And a slight burn,

Back
Into
Reality."
