CAN YOU BELIEVE IT

CAN YOU BELIEVE IT

-----------------------------

I saw fairies, child angels, and yes, departed ones too

My family were frightened, and wondered what to do

My arms were wide wings, I declared “I can now, fly”

They looked at me sideways, then up at the dark sky

“I’m free! free! it’s wonderful, free at long, long last!”

I cried it to the world, to anyone, all who might pass

The fun ended, when I ignored the clock, food, a bath

Families can only go so far, with this mad sort of lark

I simply had to fly away my take off was really rough

I wasn’t ready, but, I had to go they were going to lock me up!

LOST FOR WORDS

I have no words, only images, everywhere!!
They tangle around me, squeeze my breath
They are mattered in my thin unwashed hair

And, there's  lack of structure in my dull mind
a can't hear sort of melody, in the background
Which must be rewired. then I can join mankind

I need an invitation, of sorts? a kind word will do
That"s all it will take!! to bring me out of the cold
It will say, welcome home little one, welcome to you

ONCE.MORE

Yes, once more  I am not listening, nor ever will again
Yes, can you believe it, at long last, I’m in from the rain
Yes, was the first and last word,  to pass from my dry lips
Yes and even maybe no, are the language off the new lists.
