TAKE WING.

Fay Slimm.

 

 

Take Wing.

 

Let loose the ties of your heart
and shake free stifled hopes from tight grip 
of close- feathered defeats.

 

Boundless choice will supply appeal.

Do not expire before living your dream.  

Take wing into easier airways 
of unrestrained faith where failure ceases
and lifted are fears.

 

Swoop not to revenge or regret 

for their flightless ferment oozes distress.

 

Find your zeal within 
life's spacious fields of learnt forgiveness

and seek between weeds

every edible love-seed to pick

and gratefully eat while still on the wing.

 

Allow belief to fly.  

Reach for contentment's achievable height.

Peace is your birthright.
